Discussion:
Surging when driving fast or slow in forward or reverse

I have a Linde H30D H2X393S06051 with a surging problem. When trying to drive at a steady speed (fast or slow, forward or reverse) the lift will surge as if you are quickly pressing down and letting up on the accelerator pedal. With the laptop computer hooked up I am not seeing any variation coming from the electronics feeding the HPV. I hooked a gauge up to the F port on the filter and I have about 20 Bar of charge oil pressure at idle. When driving the charge pressure fluctuates. It will drop down to about 12 Bar this is when the lift slows down. The pressure will go back up to 20 Bar and the lift will then speed up. Thanks for any suggestions as to why the charge pressure is fluctuating.

Both of the previous posts are correct, here's some further info: between 2006 & 2007 the forward/reverse solenoids were changed from a square unit mounted with four screws to a round unit that screws in. The later round units almost never gave trouble compared to the earlier square units.

Additionally, there is a throttle pedal position sensor that can give trouble and cause the same issue. It's under the floor plate and attached to the forward/reverse pedal assy.

Edit to ddrr's post: if it's the pedal position sensor or the ring gear worn, occasionally it will throw an error code, although more often will not. Also the ring gears wear in three places, and can be viewed at the top of the engine next to the hydrostatic pump, or through a hole in the bottom of the bell housing on the engine side (there's a grommet to remove) accessible if the floor plate/sump cover plate is removed.

Any help appreciated!
Look at your ring gear teeth. Had this problem fool us around. Each time the ring defect area will pass in front on the speed sensor it will cause the pressure drop and rise. The problem is much more worse at creep speed than hi speed and is is identically the same whatever the direction. Let me know if I'm right.

3 solenoids on transmission basically below air filter.
Middle one is brake release, outside are fwd/rev,
If one direction is worse than other, try switching around the core/ valve. Replace them if travel bad both directions.
It's doesn't show up on diagnostics

Fact of the week
The origin of "love" as the score zero in tennis is debated, but two main theories prevail. One suggests it's derived from the French word "l'oeuf" (egg) which resembles the shape of the number zero. The other proposes it's related to the Dutch word "lof" meaning "honour" as players might be playing for honour when scoreless.
