definitely the weak point in the drivel inc.      They siaply break
apan, unable to hold the to~e 0£ the engine.     The biggest problem
is in re~a=se gear.

on ~36 Wrec~ers, a problem exists that can cause mediate total
failure   of   the at:tc~atic  transmission.     ~f the  ~ohicIe  is
configured to use the raar winch or crane,      and the engine ~N' B
drop below 1250,   the trana~ssion clutches ie~lately Chatter.
This chattering,   caused by the clutches    ~uiping back and fortb
between   the  gears,   lasts  about 1~2   secOnds, an~  failure  i~
catastrophic.   Make sure to keep those ~` $ ~ I      Make sure that
if the crew is holding `:p the RPX' S using the dash lever,    it is
secure!   It should be noted that the N92~ ~t=p T~ick, which has a
PTC, does not have the problem.

Other problems in the dust involved the Fan Clutch actuator~.   They
are ~ted to     atnospheric air,   allowing du~t  into the  inter~al
parts, causing failure.     Iring lots of spares.

The bra3:es,  including parlcing bra)ce, get full of a~t,  impairing
performance.    As with the Ium~er, windshields will get scratched
by wipers if used during dusty conditions.      A condition that ~any
times muSt be accepted.

         1.   Particlg separators on engine inlets include:

              * Large "catcher' a nit" separators like the type used
on the o~d Sikors~y ~~ Cr&nog, or new AE-64 Apac~es      (60% Z~f. on
ACC).
              *   Separator ~semblies incorporating 6-inch plastic
separators and such features as by-pass doors,    Ii~e as those used
on the C~-33's (90% 1ff.).
              t Snaller separator assemblies (later technology) like
those used in the ci"". ~ll 205/206 (up to ~2% 1ff.).
              *   Primitive rOD screens1 sirnilar to those on the C~
4~.
