Clark c500-YS80

Foks,

We recently obtained a gracefully aging Clark C500-YS80 for our small porsche race engine manufacturing operation. Can anyone point us in the right direction to obtain a manual as the transmission slips (in high gear) once it is hot and the ring gear needs replaced as some teeth are bad. Everythig else on the machine works great and it only has 5200 hours so we may want to fix it right and keep it for a few years. We can probably muster the mechanical aspects if we had some direction on where to approach it from. Thank you much for all the help!!

Cheers/Otto

Thanks Damo; I will go forward and start taking the counter-weight off to replace the ring gear and then look at the tranny. I appreciate the help.
