ZF Tranny Help

[Dave]

Just an update on the ZF situation. I talked to both ZF and tech
support people at their distributer Precision Transmission in PA. The
guy at Precision seemed to think I may have a major mechanical
problem, with pieces of the tranny clogging the filter. When I turn
the bus off for a while he thinks the trash is draining off the
filter, then when I start again, it picks the trash back up and clogs
again, thus will not go into gear but for a few seconds.
The tech at ZF leaned more toward a voltage problem. At any rate, i
had to have the bus towed to the local ZF facility, Cummins Atlantic
in Greensboro, NC. First order of business is to drop the filter and
see what it looks like, we will go from there. As of today, they have
not been able to look at it yet.

The trip became a mini-trip in the car. Disappointing, but all was not
lost. I will update again when I have any answers.

Thanks so much for everyone's help, this is a great resource.
