Hello i have 2 cat 3208ta with twin disc MG507-1.

they are from 1990 like new out the box and have just 3000h running
they have been not uses for a couple of years, it seems the oil has been renieuwd.

the port works fine the starboard has some issieus
first he switch in with a delay of 2 sec, oil pressure seems ok on the meter
now forward work direct but reverse dus not get on

i had a cat man looking and hey sead it could be dirt or some damage on the selector valve

I found the service manual and got fig 15-2 with a part diagram from the gear selector (see below)

is see on the diagram under the shift leaver a spring nr.3 and washer nr.5
these are missing. could that be the troubel ?

if i remove the cover plate nr.8 can i pull out the valve shaft for inspection and can i put it back in without special tools ?

Best regards,
Patrick

Post the parts list in a separate shot. Often times that part list is almost as important as the dwg.

I hate to be a pain but can you reload both but actually use a PDF file.
I wanted to print them so I can study them side by side.
What you have won't allow me to enlarge, copy or print and I have learned to hate using two screens because you can't mark them up as needed when doing anything like this.

Even a photograph , a good one, can be dealt with.
 
thanks for taking the time
