Hi,
I have an issue with the ratchet system of our GE Frame 5 p Gas Turbine. The Gas Turbine model is PG-5361P of 1986.
The ratchet system appears to have weaken over times and during start up, i.e cranking off of the unit, the diesel engine will overshoot.
Please refer to links below 1. Sound of Ratchet of our GT#;

and 2. Start trend from MarkVIe. http://uplea.com/dl/6BE286BDFF2A9F9
Please also note that after reaching standstill position (14HR) after stopping of unit, sometimes we get the Alarm (Clutch did not engage) as the ratchet takes too much time to engage the clutch.
We have checked the inline filters, ratchet motor, pump and relief valve VR5. All appear OK.
Note that the existing torque converter is of VOITH manufacture. If needed I can share the P&I Diagram.
