Did the retarder by the drivers left knee get bumped to the set position? (downward); check for a faulty on/off retarder switch. Check the transmission temperature guage...the retarder is a ZF internal transmission retarder and it is important not to exceed 230 deg F on the fluid. Did the retarder work properly prior to this misbehaving episode? If you drive the FC to CCW in Anaheim, try with the retarder switch in OFF position and make sure that retarder lever by your left knee is cylced to the UP (off) position. Good luck and call 573.341.2197 if my post info is confusing.
