This special instruction contains the necessary information that is required to bench test-specific transmission arrangements. 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. This 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 in order 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 questions or additional information concerning this guideline, submit a form for feedback in the Service Information System. In order to address an urgent need, use the following resources to communicate your request to Caterpillar Repair Process Engineering:

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 in order 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 in order to compare values on portions of this transmission test. 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. |
Tools Needed
Pressures will be sensitive to tooling setup. The diameter of the hose, the diameter of a fitting, and additional filtering can affect pressure. The required tools that are listed in Table 3 were used to develop this test procedure.
