We have discovered that the drill motor transmission will slip even when we have the transmission turned to "drill" (past 15) as far as we can tell.

We have the drill motors reveresed from side to side in our drive train (left side motors run one way, right side run the opposite in order to move forward).

This means that we can turn easily one direction (with the drills driving in forward?) and we slip the clutch when turning in the other direction. Help?

HELP!

Thank you!

Dave Lavery posted a Powerpoint presentation in the Chief Delphi White Papers on how to take apart the drill motor transmissions. It includes a section on the clutch.
