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

The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
