Hi.
I have a benford terex pt6000 with a Perkins engine.
We’ve used it more recently whilst moving about 600 ton of hillside. It’s stopped driving though. It will just about go with no load on a flat service but put anything in it or climb a hill and it’s not happening. Zero movement in 2 of the gears, slightly better in one then just a little better in the last. It’s parked up now for fear of getting it stuck.
Does anyone have any ideas? It’s 20 years old. Serviced with new filter and oils etc. engine sounds sweet so it’s not that and hydraulics are all good. Thank you.

Will double check when I’m up there. Pretty sure they’re clear as I’ve cleaned the whole machine off before bringing it in for service but I’ll double check

Guessing she’s a shuttle box, what oil did you put in the transmission?

This can double as a UTTO oil so should be ok, is it any better driving hot or cold?

Is it clutchless? Sounds like no drive from engine to gearbox etc do they have like a rubber drive dohnut type thing? Our Sanderson telehandler had one that went lost drive but that was hydrostatic

Flywheel, drive plate, torque converter, gearbox f/r clutches into manual 4 speed box out to transfer box!

UTTO can be clear or dyed(red) there is a pressure switch on the box you could find someone to do a pressure test on the box!
