I currently own a 2003 Max IV 900T with 56 hours on it. Since it was new from the factory, I could always turn left or right in foward, with out moving. But,,,if I tried to turn left or right in reverse,,I,d have to be rollng backwards, slowly , to change directions in reverse. I ordered some transmission adjusting tools from Richard Clark at Route 6x6.
After adjusting the plungers on the transmission, top and bottom,,left and right, with these tools, my Max can now turn left or right without moving.in reverse I know this is how a Max is supposed to operate, but since new, my Max IV never did.
I also loosened up the springs, so they have very little spring tension at the sticks. Doing this made a BIG difference in how my Max turns now. I can now "feel" the transmission bands as they begin to engage. It does not take much pull back on the sticks either , to feel the bands engage.
With hardly any spring tension on the sticks ,I can now feel the bands begin engage on the opposite side I,m turning on ,,and this enables me to roll the opposite wheels slowly, with out skid steering them.
