I have a Hyster H60XL automatic with lever shift (not monotrol) in which I need to replace the clutches. Is there a way to remove the transmission without pulling the engine or removing my drive axle?
There are two acces panels on the bellhousing where I can see a bracket attaching the torque converter to the fly wheel and I can get to each bolt by bumping the starter. It appears that once those are removed I can unbolt the bellhousing and if I could lift it all straight up that end would be free. I'm not sure how the output end of the transmission detaches from the drive axle however. Is there a way to release it so it can come straight up?
I just bought this lift. It has an Isuzu 4 cyl diesel that starts and runs perfectly. All the hydraulics work with no leaks. The only issue has been that it will not move forward. It runs and pulls very strong in reverse. I have a new set of clutches and gasket set ready to go in. I went ahead and went through the valve assembly- replacing all seals and O-rings, thoroughly flushed it and re-asembled it, beld it but it made no difference. Still no forward movement.
Any tips on removing the transmission without pulling the engine or drive axle? Or, any other suggestions that might get it moving forward?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hybidder,
For giggles I would block beneath one side of the mast after tilting back, then tilt forward to lift one drive wheel off the ground. Start machine, shift F N R N. If the lifted tire tends to stay spinning in forward this can be an indication of a failed forward pack due to overheated/ warped transmission discs. There should be some plugs on the control valve or on the transmission case, that may have F R and P. If you were to unseat a gauge in the Reverse port and saw 140-155 psi, then would expect to see the same on the Forward port. If tire did not spin on previous test, and the F pressure is very low, and your valve is working correctly, then I would suspect a blown clutch pack piston seal OR a leaking oil distributor seal (end of the shafts).
As mentioned, general procedure is to remove the mast, then pull diff/trans together out of front them disassemble on bench. Good luck!
what I do is hold the engine a cross up with my hoist and with metal cross for security support, and I have all the space I need to change my clutchs with out pulling out tranny, be very sure you hold your engine very good and the metal frames across
If it has a u joint you can pull right out.if not I always pull mast and then tranny/axel as unit so its out and you can then seperate.Sorry I know thats not what you want to hear
