I have now quite a problem with my D6C 83A! I opened a tread about it previously, but now i opened a new one, because this could happen on any PS tranny...
The problem was that there was water in the gearbox, and it has been standing for many years.
I figured out that something is stuck due to corrosion or beginning rust, but what?
This is what i have done, in this order:
- cleaned the metal screen filter and the magnet
- changed the preassure side paper filter
- opened the relief valves on the torque divider, and unstuck the valve spools (some where stuck)
- tested the preassure, it's barely above minimun readings
- put some diesel fuel in the oil, to make it thinner and maybe losen some rust
Next step will be to drain all the milky oil and i was thinking about cleaning it out, with running diesel fuel in it for a while?
Is there some valves inside the gearbox also? The spare parts manual says there should be something called "preassure control group", but I can't locate it outside the gearbox?? Is it inside? If they are stuck also... :bash:Banghead
