Hi. I've been working on the coach for some months, transmission was drained. Today I pulled it out onto the street, but it took a while.
I put in the specified amount of transmission fluid, including the extra quart for the Ragusa pan, and the coach wouldn't move. I had installed a remote dipstick earlier while the transmission was drained (pan never removed and stick never calibrated). No fluid at all showed up on the stick. I added some more fluid and the very tip of the stick showed wet. After cycling back and forth through the gears, and revving the engine a bit I got the coach to move.
The coach will move, but it takes its sweet time deciding to move. Put it in drive or reverse with no foot on the brake and it sits. If I rev it a bit it will move after a while.
Could this be something as simple as a transmission filter that sat and got gunked up? Or is it sounding like I need to take it to a pro, and if so can I drive it?
thanks and Merry Christmas
Richard
