    Meritor transmission problems

    As suspected after having the tcu tested the problem is not with it. I'm going to put automatic transmission fluid in it let it idle for a hour. Then put the right fluid in it. Change the inline air filter. And see if it works. The clutch actuator works properly .so I can't think of any else to try.

    Meritor transmission problems

    What I've learned since I've had this meritor junk. Is nobody is qualified to work on it. And if I get somebody that does spend five or ten minutes looking at it . all they do is guess as to what is needed to repair the problem. Nobody recommends the same thing twice.
