Was wondering if anyone else has had trouble with Stone Bennett Transmission shifter readout. I have had 2 since purchase of coach, both have lost lites on first and second gear. Have a tech working on one to maybe see what is wrong. Just thot someone else had trouble also. Larry |

LD, Here's what I've had problems with: The shaft in the shifter gets loose with time due to wear. As the shaft can move to & fro, the electrical contact "buttons" can lose solid contact with the contact spring. This results in flickering and lose of indicator lights. There is a seal on the shifter end of the unit through which the external portion of the shifter rod passes. Replacing that seal helps to stabelize the rod. The other thing I've done is to bend the contactor spring to increase contact with the buttons on the plastic cover. |

Thanks Darrell---- I have Donny at the Allison shop in San Bernadito (sp)working on what may be wrong and also sending one of the old ones to him, as both worked and the same thing went wrong with both I will go under and look at the shifter also. Will keep you posted. larry |
