Hello everyone. Hope the holiday went well for all. I have a 98 Freightliner Century Class with an auto-transmission. It is a 10 speed Eaton-Fuller. I have recently experienced some problems with this that actually left me sitting on the side of the interstate. It starts with this: throughout the day the dash indicator that tells you what gear you are in looks like a jumbled up bunch of garbage. It will sometimes be blinking all of this nonsense. Then both times I was stranded I had gone through 9 gear changes and as I was going into 10th it never made it. It just went into Neutral, but actually don't think it was in Neutral. So I pull over and sit for 30 minutes the first time, 1 hour second time and then Friday night 2 hours and I assume the computer reset itself and I was able to start the truck again. I turned the truck off myself, it didn't shut itself down. On my way home Friday night, I pulled into Petro for a Lube and box check and was notified that trans box was low. He ended up putting 7 pints of Synthetic in (which is all I run). I do have a leak somewhere down there.
Any ideas as to why I am having problems. Could it have run hot? Could I have a bad battery? Bad computer? (please dear God, don't let it be this)
Hope I have given enough info. Any and all advice would be much appreciated. Thank you
