THanks to all you have all been a great help thus far.

i dont know much about trannies but if i was you i would DEFINATELY just wait

and there is no filter.

 

New Tranny FT?


It will kill the gears.

 

The answer is no.

 

ok thank you you say that there is no filter so getting trans fluid is all i need to do

is this correct????

also i forgot to say this is also a AUTO tranny

 

No tranny fluid don't even start the car. The tranny will get hot with no fluid.

 

negatory on that start up. you shouldnt even have though of that.

 

There's a screen, but no need to replace it. Spray it out with brake parts cleaner, is about it.

 

Even the the trans is not moving the torque converter is. You should NOT start the car, it will cause serious issues quickly.

 

nooooo
