key takeaways
Challenge
The crane, after a complete overhaul, faced transmission issues during the test drive, jeopardizing its timely shipment to the Pacific Islands for work.
LE solution
Monolec Syn Multi-Vehicle ATF (1150) is a versatile, high-performance automatic transmission fluid recommended by the local LE distributor for both regular and severe-duty applications.
Results
Stephen resolved the crane’s transmission issues by using 21 litres of Monolec® Syn Multi-Vehicle ATF (1150), leading to the adoption of LE lubricants across all Thermosash equipment in Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch.
It would have cost approximately NZ$10,000 to overhaul the transmission. I changed the oil, the transmission was perfect, I could not believe it.
