Unauthorized use of this document or the proprietary processes therein without permission may be violation of intellectual property law. Information contained in this document is considered Caterpillar: Confidential Yellow.
This special instruction contains the necessary information that is required to bench test a specific transmission arrangement. Refer to Table 2 for the correct arrangements. Bench testing the transmission ensures correct assembly and operation of the component. Rotating a transmission provides the most conclusive evaluation. Testing allows the dealer to ensure that the transmission will operate properly in the machine. The specifications in this guideline are specific to bench testing the component. Every effort has been made to provide the most current information that is known to Caterpillar. Continuing improvement and advancement of product design might have caused changes to your product which are not included in this publication. This guideline must be used with the latest technical information that is available from Caterpillar.
For technical questions when using this document, work with your Dealer Technical Communicator (TC).
To report suspected errors, inaccuracies, or suggestions regarding the document, submit a form for feedback in the Service Information System (SIS Web) interface.

Important Safety Information
Illustration 1 | g02139237 |
Follow all safety warnings. Most accidents that involve product operation, maintenance, or repair are caused by failure to observe safety warnings. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous situations before an accident occurs. Personnel must be properly trained to perform maintenance, repair, or operate any machine. Safety precautions and warnings are provided this instruction and on Caterpillar products. These warnings should be observed before performing any procedures. Caterpillar cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard. The warnings in this publication and on the product are not all inclusive.
The hazards are identified by the “Safety Alert Symbol” which is followed by a “Signal Word” such as “DANGER”, “WARNING” or “CAUTION”. The “WARNING” Safety Alert Symbol is shown in illustration below.
Illustration 2 | g00008666 |
This safety alert symbol means:
Pay Attention!
Become Alert!
Your Safety is Involved.
The message that appears under the safety alert symbol explains the hazard.
Operations that may cause product damage are identified by "NOTICE" labels on the product and in this publication.
Caterpillar cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard. The safety information in this document and the safety information on the machine are not all inclusive. Determine that the tools, procedures, work methods, and operating techniques are safe. Determine that the operation, lubrication, maintenance, and repair procedures will not damage the machine. Also, determine that the operation, lubrication, maintenance, and repair procedures will not make the machine unsafe.
The information, the specifications, and the illustrations that exist in this guideline are based on information which was available at the time of publication. The specifications, torques, pressures, measurements, adjustments, illustrations, and other items can change at any time. These changes can affect the service that is given to the product. Obtain the complete, most current information before you start any job. Caterpillar dealers can supply the most current information.
Collecting the Test Data
Since conditions vary for each test bench, use the data that is collected from your test bench. The collected data is used to compare test results. The data should be collected and maintained by the operator.
Data from each transmission arrangement is collected and stored. Averages from each transmission arrangement are used to compare values on portions of transmission tests. Always compare data that is collected from the same transmission arrangement that is being tested. Averages for the last 20 transmission arrangements should be maintained.
Personal injury or death can result from escaping fluid under pressure. Escaping fluid under pressure, even a very small pin-hole size leak, can penetrate body tissue and cause serious injury and possible death. If fluid is injected into your skin, it must be treated immediately by a doctor familiar with this type of injury. Always use a board or cardboard when checking for a leak. |
Hot oil and components can cause personal injury. Do not allow hot oil or components to contact skin. |
Personal injury or death can result from not following the proper procedures. To avoid the possibility of injury or death, follow the established procedure. |

Initial Pressure Check and Adjustment Procedure
- On the transmission control valve, remove the 8E-9474 Cover and install Tooling (N). Tighten the bolts to
30 ± 4 N·m (22 ± 3 lb ft) . - Adjust the input speed to 2000 rpm. Shift through speed ranges REVERSE 1, NEUTRAL, FORWARD 1, and FORWARD 2.
Note: Remember to reduce input speed down to 800 ± 25 rpm when shifting gears.
- Record Clutch pressures in Table 12.
- Confirm Clutch pressures with Table 11
Note: Refer to Illustration 26 for pressure tap port locations.
- If the pressure does not agree with the specifications in Table 11, adjust the pressure using the following procedure.
- Loosen the locknut (29) on adjuster assembly (28).
- While monitoring the pressure, adjust by turning adjustment screw (30). To lower the pressure, turn the adjustment screw clockwise. Total adjustment screw range is approximately
131 kPa (19 psi) . - Tighten locknut (29) to
25 ± 4 N·m (18 ± 3 lb ft) . - Shift transmission to NEUTRAL for a minimum of 15 seconds then shift the transmission back to the gears above.
- Confirm that the pressure agrees with the values in Table 11.
- If the pressures cannot be adjusted within the acceptable limits with adjusting screw (30), stop rotation and remove the solenoid manifold to access the selector spool. Remove the selector spool and add or remove shims and spacers as required.

(30) Adjustment screw - Continue the procedure until all the stations (pressure taps) are checked and adjusted.
- Stop rotation.
- Remove Tooling (N) and install original 8E-9474 Cover.
- Use new 9P-9150 Washers and tighten the mounting bolts to
30 ± 4 N·m (22 ± 3 lb ft) . - To verify clutch pressures, adjust input speed to 2000 rpm and shift through gears REVERSE 1, NEUTRAL, FORWARD 1, and FORWARD 2.
Note: Always reduce input speed to low idle when shifting between gears.
Note: If the transmission clutch pressure (steady state) is out of range, the most likely cause of the failure will be a failed modulating spring, debris in control valve, or seal failure within the transmission.
Inching Test
- Adjust the input speed to 800 ± 25 rpm.
- Check to make sure the modulation switches open at the required pressure setting.
- Place the transmission in FORWARD 1 and the manual modulation plunger in the full pressure position. The 111-7088 Pressure Switch and 3E-7811 Pressure Switch (if applicable) should be closed. Follow the remaining steps.
- Slowly move the manual modulation plunger toward the reduced pressure position.
- Before the pressure at station "B" reaches
120 kPa (17 psi) , the 3E-7811 Pressure Switch (if applicable) must open. - Before the pressure at station "B" reaches
50 kPa (7 psi) , the 111-7088 Pressure Switch must open. - When the manual modulation plunger reaches the reduced pressure position, the pressure at station "B" must drop to
14 ± 14 kPa (2 ± 2 psi) and the output speed must drop to 0 rpm within 13 seconds.
- Check to make sure the modulation switches close at the required pressure setting.
- Slowly move the manual modulation plunger towards the full pressure position.
- Before the pressure at station "B" reaches
160 ± 20 kPa (23 ± 3 psi) , the 3E-7811 Pressure Switch (if applicable) must close. - Before the pressure at station "B" reaches
76 kPa (11 psi) , the 111-7088 Pressure Switch must close. - As the plunger continues to move toward the full pressure position, the pressure at station "B" must rise gradually to
758 ± 48 kPa (110 ± 7 psi) and then rise automatically to2179 ± 97 kPa (316 ± 14 psi)
Lube Circuit Check
- Shift the transmission to FORWARD 1.
- Adjust input rotation to produce a Lube flow of
70 L/min (18 US gpm) . - Lube pressure should be
90 ± 14 kPa (13 ± 2 psi) . - Record value in Table 13.
ISOParticle Count
- Sample the test bench oil supply.
- Record the particle count in Table 14.
