HELP! m211 wont shift out of 1st

[dsistare]

so i bought a m211 the guy had just used it around his house to move wood so he had neaver really gone to quick with it. i attempted to drive the truck home and i cant get it to **** out of 1st gear in either f1 or f2 in high or low range. it had plenty of fluid and the linkage looks good. any ideas on whats wrong with it??

Most likely the governer weights are cruddy and stuck in place or the control valve is the same,cruddy and not able to work properly.

Bu,as with all Hydramatics,check the trans pressure first,the procedure is covered in the TM which has been uploaded here.

Also, look very closely at the throttle valve linkage. It goes from the cross shaft at the intake manifold. If the torsion spring has broken the transmission will default to first and ONLY shift at governor RPM. As AMG says, Governor weights will also stick one in low.

ok thats great it gives me a few things to check. im new here what is the tm?

TM means Technical Manual. The TM's are found at the top of the page under the "Resources" section. It's best to right click on the manual you want to open then click "save as" instead of viewing them online...which never seems to work for me or anybody else.

The resources was linked back to the old site and I don't think you can access them for the time being http://www.steelsoldiers.com/ss-main-site-improvements-updates-suggestions/61511-out-old-new.html
Maybe Gunfreak25 can send you a saved copy, if he has one via a PM. I didn't download those tm's as I don't have one YET.

 

[Gunfreak25]

I do have all 6 parts downloaded, completely forgot too! Let me know what you need and I can send the section to you via email.

 

[dsistare]

if you could send me the part that has to do with the adjustments of the hydromatic treanny that would be great thanks!

If you don't have the TM's in either hard copy or electronic, I have both so my hard copies can stay clean, and print out what I am working on.

 

[Gunfreak25]

Well I looked through all 6 parts and could not find anything on adjusting the Hydramatic. Any info I have on this is in my original paper back 600 page manual and it's not much help over the internet without the diagrams to show which parts are which. As Mr.John Wayne said above, check the governor. Seems to be a common problem and is high on the list of probabilities in the book.

I don't know if I can/should post a full link to another site that has them, so try this. Google "M211 Power Train (Part 1 of 6)" quotes included. The first response back shoud be a site ending in ca/m135.htm. Pick it.

I would go first for TM9-8024pt1, as it has a more involved troubleshooting section. Page 163 on. Too much to post here or I would.


TM 9-8025-2 If he plans on doing a full transmission rebuild. Not much help for diagnosis, other than for pressure readings.

 

[USMC 00-08]

I downloaded all of the TM's for G749's that were available before the old site went down. Including TM 9-8025-2 which I think is what he needs. It is 45mb and I cant send it in an e-mail since it is so large. How can I get it to him?

Few fun things I found on here before the old site was taken off....the linkage adjustments are found in TM 9-8024 on page 352 (front band) and 355 (linkage adjustments)...follow the above advice and google that site and download that manual
