When I was returning from a long fishing trip, I noticed that the port engine revs kept dropping. Checked the port engine throttle/gear control & it had come right out of its bracket. The bracket was badly made and weak. Also now the port engine would not go into forward gear unless I revved up a lot & the transmission oil alarm came on. Checked oil in transmission & it was full, plus new, I had changed oil (40W) recently.
Got home slow & careful. Had new cable & bracket installed. Then at first the port engine would go into fwd after a 4 sec delay. Checked the oil pressure to Gear Box, it was 100 psi.
Checked the screen & found some clutch material, less than a teaspoon.
Cleaned it, new gasket etc.
Now there is NO transmission pressure. Port will not engage ANY gear. The Gear Box is an Allison.
I have a mechanic who is going to help me put in a new seal kit in the oil pump.
It's a HYDRECO Constant flow oil pump.
IF the re-built pump still does not give transmission pressure, what else could it be & what should I do?
