ford 2120 hss clutch slipping?

[seeds and spores]

trying to determine if indeed my clutch disc is the problem. changed hydraulic filter and fluid. clutch slips in forward gears (engine revs, but no power). reverse seems unaffected which is why i question the diagnosis? I have a ford 2120 hss mode command.

Doesn't sound like clutch. Sure you used the right fluid?
I own one if these rigs, love it, and fear the hyd clutch packs a little.

Thanks for the reply. I used tractor hydraulic fluid. When it is losing power, engine revved, you can feel it catch a little accompanied by a noise.

Not sure if this means anything, but PTO clutch seems to work fine as well, ran it under load last night. Just trying to figure out how this clutch works in there. Thanks.

I think it's just a single disc dry clutch, no separate pto clutch. I looked it up as 10.2" dry for the 12x12 shuttle trans. The non-Hydraulic-shuttle 12x4 rigs use a two plate clutch.

Here's the troubleshooting page from the transmission owner's manual. I don't think it will help much but maybe. How's things going?
