    Cruising today zf280 fell out of gear(electric shift) I stop and would not go into fwd.

    Oil was leaking from cooler at joint with cooler cap.

    Checked oil, was not contaminated, but over filled, recent oil change, I took out 16oz/500ml, which brought oil to 3/4 to full.

    I run another hour and no leak or issues, gage says 350-370psi in drive.

    I will take apart cooler later, I’m in Bahamas this weekĀ 

    So….does over filled oil cause “over pressure” on zf280?

    I need this to last 3 moreĀ  days!
