hey wasup members....i just finished doing a transmission flush today and i noticed that my car now seems more sluggish after i drove it around for 10 miles...but i think i did notice it got faster longer into the drive...is this common to happen after one of these flushes because the fluids need to run around a little bit? thanks

 

u did ur self?


give more details....how many miles on the whip...

 

nah my father did it which hes a mechanic for 30 years..lol he did everything perfect. i think it should just take a little time

 

I would never recommend a flush of anything. Just replace fluids. Flushes always end up screwing something up. Just make sure that you've got enough fluid in there.

 

was the oil pan dropped? the magnets and the screen cleaned? If those were done then drive on it a bit, make sure the level is toped off and drain and refill with fresh oil.

By the way, how did he do the tranny flush?

 

people need to post more info if they want help

year of car
miles
how flush was done
fluid used

 

yeaahh... he cleaned magnets and everything.. put in new pan. 2000 nissan maxima se with 100k miles regular atf was used

 

i told him i wanted to put in "synthetic atf" and all the mechanis never heard of it and they thought it would be pointless and it wouldnt make much difference anyway unless u have a nascar ahaha

 

It is normal for new fluid to make the transmission feel different if the old ATF is dirty. The cleaners in the new ATF are circulation and knocking out crud in the valve body if the old ATF is bad enough.

 

yeah...today i beat on the whip a little...let the max run on some high gears. everything is good now, it just needed to flush around a little bit. thanks for your replies

 

Good deal. I did the same thing and I felt like mine was sluggisg at first too. I just thought it was just my head. 100K perfect time to do it.

 

Even a radiator? I'm planning on doing mine Monday as part of the 90,000 service Nissan wanted to charge me $500 for..

 

a radiator you should do so it doesnt get clogged and you have to replace it.

 

Thank you sir.
