Hi there
I have a 1957 Case 310E loader/backhoe with a shuttle transmission slipping issue... Here is the history
The forward / reverse lever internal linkage woodruff key broke and I opened the top of the shuttle trans and replaced the broken key and noticed the tranny oil was brown and needed to be changed. I should of used the GL1 type of oil that I believe is the proper type, but couldn't find any locally, I read that I could use straight 30wgt motor oil instead, after filling it with 30wgt, the tractor would slip when in gear, sometimes it grabs but mostly sits in gear and slips, My guess in the shuttle trans plates are slipping? I drained the trans oil from a single drain plug and filled it with some GL1 from Tractorsupply. The trans started grabbing again and I thought all was good, but it is now slipping again. I was thinking that I should thoroughly drain it again and refill with GL1, I read here might be 2 places to drain the trans oil. I don't think the clutch is slipping because I had the engine completely rebuilt and replaced the clutch with pressure plate a few years ago. Any advice is appreciated. Also another issue it that the tractor wont stay in forward unless I hold the lever in forward, it wants to pop out of forward.
