Classic ZF trouble..?? 87FC35
Alan,
You need to know why you only have 7.5 VDC Start at the battery, check all connections, check with a meter. Measure across each battery, then the total voltage of the two in series. Could you have a defective battery? Maybe a bad ground? 7.5 V may not cause the starter solenoid to operate, or the fuel shut- off solenoid fro that matter. You find this and you probably will find the transmisson works fine.
