Eastcoastdiesel Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 1972 Clark forklift with a 6 cylinder contenintal engine. She sprung a transmission leak! Not when you drive, but when you park and shut it off. Haven't been under it.... Mainly because its a giant turd of a forklift, but has anyone had any experience in this sort of mechanics?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34678-need-some-help-with-forklift/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Had that problem on a Buick once. Turned out to be the O ring on the fill tube. Ir the leak is from the bell housing it may be the torque converter seal.

KECorbin22 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Sounds like a torque converter seal, when its running the converter fills with fluid and when it shuts down fluid drains back down to what ever level the seal is broken at. better to pull motor instead of the transmission. Finding a seal could be a task. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34678-need-some-help-with-forklift/#findComment-232600 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastdiesel Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 No lie this thing is so low you can't even get a jack underneath this 17k beast! I'm gonna inspect today, never really worked on a forklift before.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34678-need-some-help-with-forklift/#findComment-232629 Share on other sites More sharing options...
