I have a Claas 836 rz and often started having the blocked transmission light come on, I’ve taken all filters off and checked them (although they are due a change this week) but all seem to be pretty clean. The light goes out once the tractor is warmed up and being used, also noticed a bit of condensation on the on the inside of the oil filler cap so not sure if that’s a big issue? Anyway is there a common problem or should new filters solve the issue once I get them?

We have this on our Ares 696 tractors cleaning the strainer helps but it’s been common of these tractors for a long time. One has done 16000 hours the other 13000 hours and they are still working ok. I think it’s just an oversensitive sensor.

Cold weather makes the problem worse. Using incorrect grade oil makes the problem worse. Usually it will disappear within a couple of minutes. Filter change may help but not necessarily completely cure.
 
They all do it when the oils cold should go away after 10mins the newer claas tractors the computer ignores the switch for 10 minutes so the oil is warmed up you carnt shove stone cold oil through a filter
