Well it's been a while since my last post.
Loving the 94 Montie everytime I get in it!
I have some ?'s regarding Auto Trans flush/service.
The fluid is looking brown now and I think it's time for a change.
I have noticed that when I first start the car in the morning,
select R to back it out of the driveway that the car doesn't
seem to move on its own accord as it used to. Takes a few seconds
before it will start to move by itself. (Is this norm as it's the first auto I
have owned).
So I figure it's time to change the fluid.
Holden want $140 for service & flush.
Sent them an email asking....
In regards to the automatic transmission service/flush for $140.
What exaclty is done in the service and do you drain all of the old fluid out with the flush?
Answer...
The transmission flush is designed to remove all the old oil including what is held in the torque converter.
So from what I understand it's just a flush...no service as such!!!
I want to do it myself and save some $.
From what I have seen and heard it's pretty straight forward.
Any tips on how to do it.
Do I need to get one of those cheap oil pump/drainers so I get all the fluid out?
Looks like it would make it alot easier to pump the old stuff out and the new in.
Or is there a special technique to flush the old oil thats in the torque converter
as Holden have suggested.
What auto trans fluid should I get? Dex III?
Savvas, howdy. I know you have the book on CD for the Jack. Any chance you could email me the section to show the steps on what to do? Let me know.
Or should I just book her in?
thanks heaps
