I was told wrong then by the Tec as we have 4 - 8010s that we have calibrated every year, he said cannot fine tune the transmission on the 8000s like the 8010s.
I have my 8310 in for routine maintenance now. The transmission has never been calibrated. I asked about calibrating it and they said no need unless I'd been having problems.
I was having trouble getting it to shift sometimes. That turned out to be real simple. Apparently there is a magnet in the power shift lever. When you move the short stick, it moves a sensor by the magnet. The bolts holding the magnet had vibrated out and one of them was still lying there in the housing.
I did have them replace the belts, idler and dampener. Also pulled the valve cover to adjust the engine valves. This is at 6000 hours. I had changed the oil in the front hubs and anti-freeze this Spring. Anything else I should have done? |
