580 SL transmission take long time to warm up

bradnjen ยท 2013-12-10 14:41

Hello I have a 580 Super L series 2 with carraro transmission. Won't move until it warms up for 20 minutes. In cold weather it takes 30-40 minutes. I changed tranny fluid and filter, cleaned the screen filter near the plug and still same thing. Was starting to think it might have something to do with clutch buttons but everything works normal. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

    Wont move at all or very sluggish? I raise the rear end of the ground and put the trans in gear while its warming up.

    Won't move at all. After a long warm-up it takes off and runs great.

    Im a field service tech for a case dealer and new here just looking for some info on a off brand piece im working on, but anyway did you find any metal in the screen possibly a ear of a snap ring? there are to common problems with that transmission 1 there is a snap ring in the transmission valve that the ear breaks off of and gets caught in the spool 2 the trans pump just wears out but overall they are a great transmission

    On our 1990 580K, we leave the stabilizers and bucket down when we park it so that we can do just what Js580SL says. It has regular HyTran in it. We put HyTranSSL in our main machine, huge difference.
