i have a d3b cat dozer that lost power last sat. i was pushing trees that where blown down during katrina and while pushing i hear a loud snap and lost power and got a nasty vibration in the engine and transmission. the engine is fine it seems to be in the transmission. my first thought was the uv joint but it is still spinning. i was able to move the machine a little bit by lowering the idle real low and putting in gear and it would catch just barely and move the machine but then it would break free and lose power and start making a thumping sound. could it be the uv joint? the shaft that its connected to is real short and cannot fall out if a joint where to give up the ghost. if it was the flywheel or flexplate i would not be able to crank it. if it was a input shaft in the transmission i would have not power at all. ?
it either:
converter
uv joint
any ideas out there.
oh yea the machine will not move forward at all but will barely move in reverse sometimes when what ever is broke catches but then it break free again.
