Hi all,
My 740T with an AW71 has started shifting a little funny first thing in the Morning. It has worked fine for about a year and a half after having the OD fixed by replacing a worn spraug (sp) bearing. that fixed the OD problem but I don't think it was a full overhaul other than required seals and gaskets.

As far as I can tell it's not leaking oil and not low on oil, as best I can tell by looking at the stick. (that plastic tip is much harder to read than a steel tip.)

When you start up and its 50 degrees or so it will slightly delay the first gear shift. then an slight clunk and your off the OD shift seems a little slow at first too.

What do you think worth the trouble to do a flush as per the FAQ?

or perhaps a pressure check cold?

After warm up it seems to work fine

Any thoughts would be appreciated

Woody
