Just looking for some thoughts on improving an Atlas O RS1 I bought used. It is 2002 (20 years old notably) with TMCC and despite the TMCC appearing to function normally just get hot and barely move upon test. I noticed gears dry and likely never run. I lubricated and it got slighly better but very jumpy and needed max power and barely pulled itself (any cars would stall). I performed multiple additional lubes with marginal improvement, but certainly not even close to similar era Atlas O diesels. I plan on running alot more and hoping it just loostens up over time. I really would rather not dissassemble just yet. My best guess is super old siezed up lube in gears? Any other possibilties anyone might know of??
