Caterpillar / Towmotor 510P Forklift, clutch info needed

Actual Question

Top Replies

Hi Arj, I had a similar issue with my 510P. The clutch lever you're describing does indeed sound like it's for an open wet clutch system. Make sure the oil level is adequate and that there's no debris causing an obstruction.

Hey Arj, I've worked with this model before. The clutch mechanism might require some adjustment, especially check the linkage components for any wear and tear. Sometimes replacing a few small parts can make a big difference.

Arj, you might want to check the clutch disengagement bearing as well. These can sometimes fail and cause the symptoms you're describing.

I've got some old manuals that have schematics for the 510P. If you need specific parts diagrams, feel free to shoot me a message.
