What do you need to know about case O Matic?
Case o matic is suppose to work just like a automatic trany in a car. Oil should be very clean, filter cleaned, and at correct level. Very good trany if taken good care of. Thanks caseman-d. So the Torque tube is a reservoir of oil and it also houses the torque converter and range housing and each of those components have each their own oils?

What makes a case O Matic a failure?
A CASE-O-MATIC is only as good as the operator. At first they were absolute failures because nobody including the dealers really knew how to use them. Guys would burn up the convertors and pumps from abuse and not maintain the oil and filter.
