Jcb Fastrac air ram cylinder gear selector

[Kevinks]

Hi.
I have a problem with my 2003 2135 4ws abs not always selecting Reverse and low I’m going have look again today.
Would I be right in thinking the problem would be the high and medium ram not reading there back in neutral (sensor fault) so conveniency not allowing the reverse/low ram to work?
Sometimes if I restart the tractor it’s fine sometimes I have to just leave it till the next day and it fine it always works if I put it into limp mode?
Feed back on this would be very helpful.

Make sure the jubilee clips that hold the switches in place are tight !

I did away with the sensor that was playing up on my 1135. Just bypassed the switch.. end of problem..
downside was that it showed it was in 'high' all the time !

I have trouble with one of mine low reverse is ok but top ram wont go into med or high ,? Any ideas ? Tested switches all seem to be working. .

Thread stripped on top selector ram.

Its not moving tho , im thinking its not sensing neutral …

Shuttle lever working ok? I've replaced levers in both my fastracs, which cured issues I had selecting gears.
Otherwise my thoughts:
high low ram lock nut come loose and moved out of adjustment? Preventing ram reaching neutral switch??
Or electric connection corrosion somewhere.

Maybe check that is moving the selector enough to operate neutral switch as i think its not sensing neutral …

The thing on the end of the ram on the low revere was slack ……. Its maybe got its self out adjustment and not sensing neutral .

the sensor is a proximity switch there is a magnet on the ram plunger the switch is likely to have moved slacken the switch and move along the ram with a set multimeter to resistance so you can tell when it is in the right place

Our 2170 had exactly same symptom.

can you hear it going thru the motions? Might be the ram is actually moving but the rod is slipping the threads so the selector is not.

No its mot doing anything not trying .

Its came on slow over a period of time , did it one day out the blue but then worked … gradually got worse to point it wont go to med or high at all not just low and reverse …. I have had the rams off and checked switches all work on multi meter i replaced awitches exactly as they were i marked them but prehaps they had moved but they were very tight and some sort of glue on so i dont think switches have moved ,

The fitting on the end of the low rev ram wa slack prehpas its screwed its self in or out and the switches not detecting neutral as if its wromg lenght not moving far enough ,, i will try altering length of ram this morning ..

I have a vague recollection that the magnet was broken up on mine when I resealed it, and that there was a replacement in the reseal kit.

Interesting ..

I have had the top ram to bits and back together with mulit m on switches and all seems to be working , move ram in out switches work …. Maybe i check bottom one if adjusting lenght not work ..

Found a bust switch today and swapped it for a good one as have some spares in stock, now works low med high changing through the ranges well and drives good but when in med not sensing med no arrow and throwing error code up , tested switch seems to work and alterd position etc cant get it to work properly in medium but dose drive ok …. Frustrating …

 

[Abacus]

what are the error codes
