Nissan 1F2 Transmission

Hi, I seem to be having major grief with these transmissions. I have had several fail. I have even tried replacing the trans oil every 500hrs, this has still not solved the propblem. Surely i am not the only one having this issue? Has any one else had this proplem, or does anyone know what can be done to solve this fault?

there is a 'known concern' with the bell crank lever in the linkage to the inch pedal that if not properly checked and lubed, will cause the inch spool to not return all the way, causing the trans clutches to slip. it is an easy fix/maintenance to completely disassemble the lever and lube/grease the pivot shaft every so often, and then you have to teach the operators that the only reason to use the inch pedal brake has to do with when you need to run the engine faster to lift, and to use the regular brake pedal for everything else and to not ride with their foot on that pedal.
Part of this 'concern' is related to how 'hard' a clunk this trans makes when it engages the trans. This one is smoother and has slightly more travel of the inch pedal as the clutches engage, than in previous trucks, but as a result, the operator may not notice the trans slipping as they bounce down the aisle, but it may well be slipping (clutch pressure lower than normal for a few thousand seconds a week can add up quick).

need to know what is failing, what the environment is, what the oil looks and smells like at failure, if the inching is adjusted properly etc.

Sounds like operator abuse or incorrect maintenance/adjustment if you have multiple units with failing transmissions.

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.
