hello,

my friend's car is low on ATF i believe, because when she puts it into R or D or whatever it doesnt go into gear, only after 1-2 tries it will. could it be low on ATF?

i wanna know what ATF u guys use. is it dexcron II/III ? is 3 better?

thanks.

 

IIRC You're supposed to use Dexcron 2. She may have to get the tranny serviced in a minute. These auto trannies die for any reason trust me my car has been through three auto's within the past two years. I refuse to drive like my grandma. Plus it is an excuse to go stick.

 

i'll try dex 2, she's gonna change cars anyhow. but i guess i'll pick up wahtevers penz, valv.

IIRC ??

thanks again. i may just flush it for the hell of it, also, u know the atf drain bolt, do u know if u have to put sealant on it?

 

dexron III replaced Dexron II

 

shootz. thanks. no wonder..

 

no sealant on the bolt. good luck.

 

many people have had these trannies last a long time, im on the second tranny for my car, first one 120k this one is at 60k and still going strong.
vg ill ridah i swear your rebuilder is crap, 3 times in 2 years is bs.

 

at least it isn't a dodge OD tranny. if i replace it this will be my 4th one.

 

Rebuilds over here = 2200 at minimum
Replacements = 800 installed I've spent 1600 on replacements. I'm also trying to get my parents to stop paying for this to get done and hae me do a swap. They won't listen. I've killed the original 2 years ago, then a replacement just a few months ago, now I'm on my third tranny. I should get a job testing out cars if I can do this constantly.

 

5spd's die as well. When Maximan190 was doing his 5spd swap, I told him to rebuild it first (he didn't listen), well I know it costs $$, but anyway it had major problems right away.
