I have this 7 ton machine which is quiet old. Recently i have to rev the engine a lot to reverse it and sometimes it tends to "jump" or "jerk" along in reverse. Transmission oil and filter in good clean condition. Machine is fitted with a 4 cylinder Perkins and Hystamatic gearbox 2 speeds. Any ideas what the problem might be?
