D5H LGP Trans problem

We have a D5M in Africa with transmission problem. The transmission was recently overhauled and a new pump fitted, TC also overhauled. The machine ran fine for 3 weeks and then had this problem: after 4 hours at work  the trans starts to loose power and overheat. If the machines stops for two hours and cools it will then run again for 4 hours and then the same problem again.  We've changed the oli and run pressure tests. The pressure  is OK for about 3 1/2 hours and then starts to drop as the trans overheats.

Any one have an idea what the problem might be.  We used all new CAT part when did the trans.

Re: D5H LGP Trans problem

Was any work done on the transmission control valve?

 

There are several updates done to the spools and slugs that should be installed when encountering this type of problem.
