Our Crown PE 4500 seems like a clutch issue? I am not even sure if it has a clutch, but when you try to drive in either direction, it feels like the motor spins and the truck builds up speed, very similar to a clutch, until it gets to full speed. But then the brakes don't work either, so the truck is very unsafe. I am very handy with a wrench and work on multiple lifts but they are all Raymonds so I am not familiar with Crown. I wanted to start here before I start taking things apart. Thank you in advance, us gear heads are a family.
