2004 Carver 466 MY Transmission Problem
I have the Volvo 480 hp diesels with ZF model 280-1A transmissions. While under power at 1900 RPM my starboard transmission went to neutral. Tried unsuccessfully to get it into forward, but would go into reverse no problem. I have checked the coils, solenoid valves and valve body with no luck. Verified electronic shifter operational. This is a new boat to me and certainly was not counting on a major repair.
Suggestions please! Qualified mechanics in my area that might be able to fix.
Thanks,
Walter

Less than 60 hours ago oil analysis done for survey, all clear. Trans oil new and full. No rotation except when under way with engine running and in neutral and other engine moving boat. Yes, EVC system. Surveyor had Volvo hand held device and said all items up to date.

Re: 2004 Carver 466 MY Transmission Problem
How have you determined that the solenoids are actually functioning? Are you able to swap the solenoid plugs at on the control valve to see if the problem switches to the other side?

Re: 2004 Carver 466 MY Transmission Problem
I have seen a clutch snap it's shaft which I assume was due to an impact the owner had the previous season. This is why you always advise the insurance company in an impact claim to remove the tranny, dismantle, and inspect in case there is internal damage. This adds a considerable cost to the claim so they usually say NO and hope it'll last a season or two. That's when you advise them that if the tranny fails in a season or two, it must be considered part of the original impact claim...get it in writing!
Fingers crossed it's something external.

Re: 2004 Carver 466 MY Transmission Problem
Don't know why he's suggesting not rebuilding without opening her up first though. Well I kind of do but we won't go there!
I wonder if this would be covered under your insurance policy? Go out and hit something! Oooops, I didn't just say that
