Showing items 1 - 5 of 5 results.
Is this the location for the inching value?

You might check the inching, valve if filling up with oil doesn't work.
It might be stuck or have a broken return spring.

No bubbles at the end of the dip stick. I'll check the screen to see what it looks like. Do you know what type of fluid this trans takes

From what I have collected the low oil would not allow enough pressure to close the clutch packs completely. Is there bubbles on the end of the dip stick? There is a plug with a screen that if clogged would cause the bypass valve to stay open and no movement. Worst case Ontario I would grab some of that Lucas tranny rebuild oil and see if that works

Fact of the week
The black box flight recorder was invented by Australian scientist David Warren in the mid-1950s. While initially met with indifference in Australia, his invention gained international recognition, particularly in the UK, and is now a mandatory piece of safety equipment on all commercial aircraft.
