D2, If you've never done so it would be a good time to change the trans oil and filter, and also pull the magnetic screen on the bottom of the transmission case.
I would recommend you use cat transmission oil...it isn't as cheap as engine oil but has different additives. Do NOT use hydraulic oil!
When you start it from cold it may be necessary to hold the speed selector back in the 2nd gear position until it has warmed up a bit...otherwise they can creep forward and you may be in neither 1st or 2nd.
I'll dig out the manual and scan the pages for you when I get the chance.![]()
I have two 922a and 922b I just use straight 30 weight oil for tranny. Hope this helps .
I have a loose leaf version of the service manual for the 922 59A machines for sale for $50. Lots of stuff listed for that problem.
Does your machine have a transmission pressure gauge on the dash? The transmission control pressure should be at least 180 psi@ low idle speed and set at 215 at high idle.
There is a neutralizer function that shifts the transmission into neutral when the left brake pedal is pushed in, don't suppose that could be leaking air pressure into that valve all the time so it won't come out of neutral?
All linkages connected and operating properly? Range lever in either low or high?
