If it is a spin-on filter, did you cut it open or just look into the center hole?I didn't see any metal shavings in the filter. It was pretty clean.
If yes, you need to cut the can off in order to see the crud on the filter inside.
How is the hydro unit driven from the clutch? A splined shaft in the drive disc? going out of the bellhousing via a flanged pillow block bearing. Then a u-joint or shaft coupler of what type? Which is then connected to the hydro unit input shaft?
If yes, is it possible there is a key on the input shaft that has sheared?
I have seen where a keyed shaft breaks the key and will still transmit enough power to spin the hydro enough to provide slow movement when there is little resistance to moving. Then as moving gets more difficult like going uphill or up onto a trailer or over a curb, the broken key is inefficient to transmit power and the input shaft spins in the coupler. Progressively getting worse as chewing itself to slip more easily.
Until it eventually won't wont move the machine at all.
As used red mentioned, is the bad clutch cable even installed?I don't use the clutch at all because the cable is shot.
You also mentioned this slow moving creep was going on BEFORE the engine change?
Was the diesel bad and needed replacing or you thought that the "no power" was an engine problem?
