I have a JLG sky trak 6042 that is having some transmision problems. After starting the machine, it often takes 15 or 20 minutes to get it into gear. Once it gets into gear, it seems to operate fine for the rest of the day. The rest of the hydrualics seem to operate fine. I'm not sure if it is coincidence but, it seems to go into gear sooner if the leveling hydraulics are extended all the way to one side and then back the other way a few times. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Have you serviced the trans? New fluid, filter, cleaned screen?
It been about 6 months since that was done, maybe 150 hrs on the machine since then.
We own/operate about 70 of the SkyTrak 6042/6036 teles in our rental fleet. Call Steve at 734.516.5675 He may have some advice for you. We also have nearly every part and attachment for the SkyTrak tele is stock, if needed.
Remove the hyd pump, then remove the trans charge pump. Then pull out the thru shaft, on this shaft is a stamped steel cone that seperates oil from the valve body to the tourqe convertor. that cone is worn out. wes
Did replacing the cone fix your problem?? cause I'm having the same problem
