My transmission fluid is leaking from my 2000 Ford Taurus. I went to get my fluid changed - They said it was bone dry(Tran Fluid) He only put one quart in. How many should I add myself?How many quarts of transmission fluid should be in a V-6 engine?
check the manualHow many quarts of transmission fluid should be in a V-6 engine?
Check your owners manual for the fluid capacity of your transmission. If a shop said your tranny was %26quot;bone dry%26quot; then what is his definition of that? If the fluid was touching the stick, thats hardly bone dry. If it wasnt even showing, then check it yourself by setting your parking brake, putting wheelchocks under the tires, and have the car running and in neutral on level ground. Check the fluid level and adjust as needed. Do not overfill, as that can cause even more problems. I recommend getting the leaks handled asap or you run the risk of cooking that tranny and either rebuilding/replacing it, or trashing the car and getting a new one.
Good luckHow many quarts of transmission fluid should be in a V-6 engine?
Your trans is either a AXOD or a AX4N. It will hold around 12 quarts when it is %26quot;bone dry%26quot;. Your trans probably isnt %26quot;bone dry%26quot;so start the engine, put car in park (not neutral) and add 1 quart at a time until it is on the stick and then add a little at a time until it is in the checkered area of the dipstick. Get that leak fixed ASAP.How many quarts of transmission fluid should be in a V-6 engine?
the axod or the ax4n or equivalent usually hold about 14 qts if i remember right, but ill bet that the tech only looked at the dipstick and saw that it was dry and made a comment that he had not researched. perhaps the dipstick was dry but that should only take a quart or two to resolve. How many quarts of transmission fluid should be in a V-6 engine?
You may wish to reword your question. You should never put tranny fluid in an engine. They are two entirely different fluids.How many quarts of transmission fluid should be in a V-6 engine?
it takes at least 9 quarts put you need to put in only one at a time and then run the car and then check tip stick keep doing this ontill it,s full ..How many quarts of transmission fluid should be in a V-6 engine?
Ford Taurus has to be one of the worst cars made, they always have transmission problems

2000 Escalade transmission fluid.The truck has been parked for about eight months...now what?
I wanted to know since the truck has been parked for so long...I would very much like to (or better yet have to) change the transmission fluid...how much should I add to the trans.? I'm asking because of the hi/lo 2x2/4x4 four wheel drive option that is in the drivetrain.2000 Escalade transmission fluid.The truck has been parked for about eight months...now what?
The transmission for this truck holds 15 quarts of fluid. The only way to get all the fluid replaced is by doing a flush with a machine. If you do a drain and fill by taking the plug off, you'd be lucky to get 5 quarts out if not less.2000 Escalade transmission fluid.The truck has been parked for about eight months...now what?
Did it all leak out or something???
If it didn't leak out, why would want to add any???
I'm confused??
ADDED:
They sit at the dealers lots for months...All they do is stick a battery in it, start it up and drive away.......good name for dog a dog for sale

How often should the transmission fluid be changed on a '99 Buick Regal GS?
I just changed it at 99,000 miles.. the guy said the old fluid looked all burnt... Did I shorten the life of my transmission by not changing it sooner and how long should I expect the tranny to last on this car?How often should the transmission fluid be changed on a %26039;99 Buick Regal GS?
all cars are a little different. They range from as low as 15k miles all the way up to 100k miles. I am pretty sure that your car is going to recommend 30k miles. Have you had the car since new and if not do you know if it has ever been changed? You didn't hurt anything by changing it. People always say that it does more damage to change it than to just let it go after you have that many miles on it. But I don't agree with that. If you smoked for 30 years and then quit your lungs wont get worse they will get better. Now the smoking has already damaged your lungs but it can only help the remaining life of them by quiting. Same thing with the tranny fluid. By waiting so long you probably did do some damage to the clutches but changing the fluid will help the car shift better. I would do it every 20-30 k miles from now out. Depending on how long you plan on keeping the car.How often should the transmission fluid be changed on a %26039;99 Buick Regal GS?
my fords show like 24 months for trans fluid changes but on some cars I go every year to get the most life FWD cars are a little weak compared to RWD cars and trucks in the trans area one more thing to consider is an auxilary trans cooler every 20 degrees you drop your trans fluid temp you double the life is what they say as I recallHow often should the transmission fluid be changed on a %26039;99 Buick Regal GS?

should be changed every 30,000 miles. yes you probly did shorten the life of your trans. they usually last about 130,000 miles.How often should the transmission fluid be changed on a %26039;99 Buick Regal GS?
if you waited to change it at 99,000 miles you should have never changed it, I have seen cars go that long then they change the fluid and it loosens up all that old sludge in there and ends up clogging everything up and in about a week the trans. goes out.How often should the transmission fluid be changed on a %26039;99 Buick Regal GS?
you should chang the fluid and filter ever 50,000 miles but a lot of pepole never changed there fluid in there car and there transmissions last longer then the mortor.

Transmission Fluid Changes
How much does it usually cost to have your transmission fluid changed and does anyone have a good recommendation of where to go? I have a 98 Honda Accord.Transmission Fluid Changes
I just got my transmission flushed and the filter changed at a dodge dealership for $119 dollars. I would suggest that if you are going to get a transmission flush to do it at a honda dealership or the dealership you got your car at.
Since your car is a 98 I would just reccomend a transmission fluid change and not a flush along with a filter changeTransmission Fluid Changes
Not sure of the cost as I do my own. It'll vary from place to place. I'd recommend having a transmission shop do it or a dealer. Definitely wouldn't let a Jiffy Lube type place do it. Don't get a flush. MAke sure they change the fluid and the filter.Transmission Fluid Changes
I am a transmission builder, I do not recommend changing the transmission fluid at all if you do not know the history of the car.
If the fluid is old use it again, never add brand new fluid to an old transmission, to do so will peel the clutches off and lay them in the transmission pan.

Transmission fluid in Corolla 2000?
got a corolla 2000, automatic.
Needs transmission fluid changed!
Do i drain the old ? or just add some new? what type of fluid to i add?
any1 can give me step by step explanation
or a website where it will show me how to do it!
thanks a lot! Transmission fluid in Corolla 2000?
Any oil change place can do it for little money ($30) and a whole lot less hassle!
The pan must be removed as there is no %26quot;drain plug%26quot; , and there is a filter inside that must be replaced. The lack of a proper drain plug makes it a very messy task, installing the filter incorrectly and using the wrong torque sequence when re-installing the pan will cause leaks down the road.

How much transmission fluid does a 1993 Ford F150 need?
I am going to change the automatic transmission fluid and my Haynes manual says I need to add 17 quarts to refill it. Can this be right? People in the parts store said it was only ten, maximum but didn't seem sure.... Thanks.
4.9L, E4OD, 2WD.How much transmission fluid does a 1993 Ford F150 need?
if you are only changing the pan gasket %26amp; tranny filter?
then you only need 5 quarts.

17 qt`s ? Where are you supposed to put the other 10 ? assuming you drained the converter. Haynes does not use spell check, hence 17 qt`s . If all you do is drain the pan, change the filter. Then you should need no more than 4-5 qt`sHow much transmission fluid does a 1993 Ford F150 need?
If you drop the pan than these guys are right. A good rule of thumb is to watch what you lose and replace it with a quart less, check fluid and fill accordingly.
However, MAKE SURE YOUR REPLACEMENT FLUID MATCHES WHAT YOU DRAINED. Mixing two different fluids is a recipe for disaster, especially in a Ford.

How can I fix my 1997 Dodge Intrepid's transmission with a fluid change and a pair of plyers?
My car shifts harder then when I got it, which could be all the miles it has(151,500). But when I got the car it was fine I couldnt feel it shift barely at all and it had (128,000) then. I try not to beat the car but sometimes I need to pass and I kick it down one more gear then I would like, and I have burnt out 4 times with the car but twice were because the roads were wet and I had bald tires. But I ask the original question because when I was searching around to find out about my car I came across a web site that had comments from different people who have or still do own the same kind of car as me(97 dodge intrepid, 3.5 litre). The one man said in his comments to e-mail him and he would tell you how to fix your tranny with justy a fluid change and a pair of plyers, but he left no e-mail address. So now I am hoping that someone knows what this man was talking about or that he reads yahoo answers and realizes that I need an answer without spending 800 to 1200 dollars on my tranny.How can I fix my 1997 Dodge Intrepid%26039;s transmission with a fluid change and a pair of plyers?

Its a 2000 suzuki grand viatara lx 4x4 ( 6 cylinder), the fluid is light tea colored and its gently jerking when i slow down and start up.

I added fluid to it and it also turned a tea color after I test drove my vehicle.How much does it cost to have a transmission filter and fluid changed?
it depends where u goHow much does it cost to have a transmission filter and fluid changed?

98 Mercedes Benz S420 Transmission Fluid?
Is it ok to use Lucas Transmission Fluid as a additive? How do you change the Transmission Fluid Filter Kit?98 Mercedes Benz S420 Transmission Fluid?
Benz does not recommend any additives for their transmission and considering the cost of a replacement electronic transmission, I wouldn't add anything other than the Benz synthetic transmission fluid either.
Changing the transmission filter is the same as it is on most other trannies. Drop the pan, replace the filter and the gasket, refill the transmission. You'll need 4 litres of fluid if you're replacing the fluid lost from the pan, 8 litres if you're flushing the entire transmission including the torque conv. Just remember that the car does not come with a fluid level dipstick. You'll either need to buy the tool or take the car to a shop that has one so they can check the fluid level for you.98 Mercedes Benz S420 Transmission Fluid?
Well if you've not really had any problems with the transmission I'd not add any Lucas to it but I do believe in their products , have used them myself and know of many success stories.
If you've not ever changed transmission fluids or filters you might want to either get a shop to it or get a friend to help you that has experience or read a full service manual and then do it or try a good auto parts store bec some offer free diagrams and instruction print outs.
Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way that really isn't a hard job to do it's vital though that the right filter kit and transmission fluid is used , plus cleaning the surfaces and making sure that their quite dry before placing the gasket and pan back on is also vital.Another thing is once you change the fluid etc wait till you drive it a good 100 miles or so and lightly retighten the pan bolts again.

How much transmission fluid goes in a Dodge Srt-4? I need to change the fluid myself but I don't know how much to buy. I looked in the manual and it doesn't say.

i checked my mitchell and it also does not say how much for an srt-4 but for a 2004 neon it takes 9L if empty and 4L drain and fill of atf +4

2000-2005 takes 4 litres of transmission fluid .How much transmission fluid goes in a Dodge SRT-4?
First and formost -- keep in mind this is a manual transmission and not an automatic transmission (all SRT4's are 5spd). So 9L is right out the door.

If I remember correctly he just used 5w-30w Mobile1 to do this.
If you call a dealer I'm sure they can verify what the best fluid to use.

How often should transmission fluid be changed?
Approx. how many miles for an automatic transmission before it needs to be changed?How often should transmission fluid be changed?
i think most manufactures don't have a schedule for changing transmission fluid in the owners manual, but if you go to the dealer, they most always have a schedule for you. some cars are better than others, like if i owned a ford or chevy product, i would change fluid very 15 to 20k miles. if it was a nissan, probly somewhere around 60k miles with normal driving. not always best to believe manufacture schedule cuz they know the car will last out of warranty on those schedules.
for instance, some models recommend 7500 miles for an oil change. the only ppl i know who wait that long know nothing about car maintenance.
fluid on newer cars esp. imports is pretty expensive.
some independent shops that advertise changing all the fluid in the trans use regular trans fluid with additives. that is not always a good idea cuz they have minimum wage workers adding whatever they want to your trans. some makes don't have filters, just a screen and some trans pans don't have drain plugs for the do it yourselfer.
to answer your q, i would do drain and fill trans every 15k miles and if you can get all the fluid changed, then 25 to 30k miles.How often should transmission fluid be changed?
50,000...I know because I am 200 miles from needing one. :)How often should transmission fluid be changed?
id say at 15,000 miles to be safe, 25,000 miles maximum
dont forget the basic filters in the trany. Most oil change shops service transmission oil nowadays. ther other person said 50,000..that is acceptable, depends how much you like your car I guess. and how hard you drive it, and the weather conditions where you live etc.How often should transmission fluid be changed?
It really depends on the car and usage. If it's an older car and you don't know when the fluid was changed last, it may be bad to change it.
Your best bet is to look in the owner's manual. It has schedules for changing the fluids.How often should transmission fluid be changed?
You should have your transmission serviced every 24,000 miles. Every 12,000 miles if do alot of heavy hauling or a lot of stop %26amp; go driving. Have it done by a reputable Dealer or Transmission shop. They can change the fluid and make the necessary adjustments. It's fairly inexpensive compared to a New transmission. Don't send a woman or anyone who doesn't know anything about cars. Nothing against women, but most don't know anything about cars. There is a lot of men that don't know anything about cars either.
Also there is some good additives to help an older transmissions, after 50,000 miles. %26quot;Lucas%26quot; makes one of the best.
If the transmission fluid is a brown looking color and smells like varish get the transmission serviced.How often should transmission fluid be changed?
I have 2 Pontiacs that recomend it be changed every 100,000 kilometers. You would have to check with the manufactuer for your particular type of car.How often should transmission fluid be changed?
Now a days....car factory manual said it is no need to change the it will goes for the whole life of your car. If this is the case then many lubricant factories will goes to bankrupt, then it is advise to change it within 25000 miles or after you change the engine oils twice.How often should transmission fluid be changed?
i say 15 to 25k Miles

Transmission oil change???
I have a honda 2000 civic lx bought it froma friend 1 yr ago has 79,750 miles on it and I checked the transmission fluid this morning and it's a light brown color-I thought transmission fluid was suppose to be pink or red. Well not having any problems with the transmission but I know I should have it changed soon since it's dirty. But my husband can't do it till next weekend he is not a mechanic but does do the oil changes and smalll things like so, he says changing the transmission fluid is simple, so my question is will it be okay to wait till next weekend and how hard is it to change the fluid and do we need to change a filter?? I know we have to only use the honda transmission fluid. Thanks guys!!!!Transmission oil change???
its not a problem that the fluid is slightly discolored. That happens over time as the dyes in the oil darken from the heat generated by the transmission. As long as the fluid doesn't smell burnt.you'll be okay.
there is no filter inside that transmission. there is a drain bolt similar to your engine oil drain plug that you unscrew to drain the oil. You will get about 3 1/2 quarts out. The only way to get it all out is to flush the trans but its not worth it.
you are right in that you need to use the Hondamatic transmission fluid only. you can only get that at a Honda dealer.
The factory recommendation on the fluid change is 100k so its not a problem unless as I mentioned the fluid smells burnt. Otherwise, no worries.
hope that helpsTransmission oil change???
You should have NO WORRIES, it is not near as important as the oil changes.
To get the max life out of your car though, go with the severe service intervals for all your maintenance. This usually means trans fluid drain and top-off ever 30k.
Very easy to change - pull drain plug on side of transmission case - usually a 3/8%26quot; socket drive size. Leave it to drain. Replace plug and top off with the correct amount of ATF. My accord takes exactly 2.5 quarts.
Note: For regular ATF, yes use Honda brand. But, I recommend Amsoil synthetic to all my customers. I have 3 Hondas that all have Amsoil - 95 Odyssey 230k miles, 94 Accord wagon 227k miles and 94 Accord sedan 281k miles. Synthetic stays much cooler and thus does not breakdown and turn brown like your current ATF. Temperature is the reason for failure in 90% of transmission issues.
To switch over, just drain and top the ATF at each oil change. You should have it mostly switched over after about 4 changes. After this, you can easily go 60k on the ATF drains. The synthetic oil and the extended life oil filters are rated at 25k miles though I usually only double the Honda interval of 7500 with 15k changes. This makes it just as cheap to use the expensive synthetic. ($7/qt and $9 filters) compared to 3k oil changes with regular oil ($2/qt*5 and $3/filter*5).Transmission oil change???
Personally my experience had been normally simply draining %26amp; refilling the ATF fluid every 25,000 to 30,000 miles works best! In fact we have always owned 5 brand new TOYOTAS (and one, a 1993 Toyota Camry LE we gave away with 211,000 miles when my wife got 2005 Highlander 6 cylinder AWD all have made it to at least 150,000 miles with no ATF or transmission problems simply by draining %26amp; refilling the ATF fluid, actually I do it more frequently after the vehicle reached 100K mile plateau like every 2nd or 3rd oil change. But again, most experts recommend every 25,000 or 30,000 miles and then I was surprised that most service stations charge like $30 when it is such an easy DIY task of simply opening the drain plug, measure how much came out and then refill like 2 to 3 quarts of ATF according to the manufacturer specifications via skinny ATF tube.
Older vehicles used to use DEXRON III ATF but newer ones use more sophisticated ATF that it is extremely critical not to refill with wrong ATF, otherwise troubles begin and TRANSMISSIONS are expensive to overhaul %26amp; fix and often times never the same that people give up and trade-in as lessons learned experience.

How do you change the auto transmission fluid in a 97 chrysler cirrus v6?
I just bought a 97 chrysler cirrus v6 thats in good shape and I want to keep it that way! I changed oil, checked battery acid level and was going to change auto transmition fluid. For now I was just going to change auto trans fluid %26quot;not filter%26quot; though I already have a new filter/gasket. For the life of me I couldent find a drain plug! I would have thought it would have been on the lowest part of the trans fluid pan! I looked everywhere, and found nothing! I had someone tell me you had to remove the trans pan to drain the fluid. I looked on the internet, this seems to be true. If so, how the hell do I catch the fluid on pan removel without makeing a huge mess? Seemes verry silly, but I gotta do it! Somebody please tell me how to do this in the most efficiant/least mess kind of way! Thank you!How do you change the auto transmission fluid in a 97 chrysler cirrus v6?
You probably have to drop the pan unless you pump it from the fill hole.
At least if you go through all the trouble make sure you refill with a good quality AMSOIL transmission fluid.

How to change transmission and coolant fluids on a Dodge Neon?
We called a place for pricing on these two, the tran was $250 and the coolant was $90 to change. That seems rather pricey!
Can someone give me step by step instructions on how to do it?How to change transmission and coolant fluids on a Dodge Neon?
there are websites tht explain everything.
As far as the transmission is concerned you have to consult your owners manual to be absolutely sure you use the correct type of trans fluid. Using the wrong type will definitely cause problems.
Thats the problem with shops that do the work,,,,they often put in the wrong fluid,,,,and the trans goes kaput. That includes the dealers also.

How do I change the fluid in a turbo 350 transmission?
i also need to know how to change the filterHow do I change the fluid in a turbo 350 transmission?
A turbo-hydro 350 transmission has a pan on the bottom that must be removed to change the fluid and tranny filter. You can't miss the filter as it's right on the bottom of the valve body, the first thing you see when the pan has been removed.How do I change the fluid in a turbo 350 transmission?
You have to remove the transmission pan which is simply bolted on. After removing you will see the transmission filter. there may be a couple of screws that have to be removed but many easily pull out. Be sure to clean the old gasket material off of the transmission and trans pan before reassembly. Add the fluid through the transmission dipstick. start with 4 quarts then heck it with the engine running and in park. Add additional fluid until it is at the appropriate mark. Note-the hotter the transmission fluid gets the more it expands so do not overfill.How do I change the fluid in a turbo 350 transmission?
Remove the Trans,Oil pan, Replace the Filter -clean off the Magnet that is in Pan to collect Metal;Remove old Gasket from Pan,use putty Knife ,be careful and don't gouge the Pan surface,It is Aluninum,Now Put a Straight Edge across the Holes,there should be no Gap under the Straight edge, If there is take a small hammer and tap those holes flat,recheck for Flat no gap;now apply some grease to Pan and then gasket,You can screw a few bolts in and they will hold gasket in place now start all bolts and use a back and fwd pattern while installing,start at Center and work to the outside,Use a Torque wrench so all bolts are same;I used 25 inch lbs on last Vehicle,check the book for your car,it will give the Torque,
Now add Trans.Fluid type for your vehicle,Most likely Dextron;You can put 4 Qts in,start up engine and Place Trans, shift in R-Dr-2-1.about 3 min in ea. position.check for leaks,when car is at Operating Temp eng at idle in park check the Dipstick,You will need a little-do not overfill-If You do Loosen cooling line at Radiater,and let some out;
The Filter and Gasket cost about 12 Dollars--Fluid 12 dollars; If the Fluid is Dark,You can do this, Loosen Cooling lie at radiater,then tighten finger tight use a Measured container,and a 3/8 clear tubing,have some one start engine push hose onto the tube and into the container when the Flow starts to cease have friend turn key to off,You will get about 4 Qts,take a sample,if fluid is dark,Repeat procedure untill the fluid looks like Strawberry pop.How do I change the fluid in a turbo 350 transmission?
There is no drain plug for this so the job can be very messy. Have lots of speedy dry or cat litter and lots of rags on hand.
You have to remove the transmission sump pan.
Remove all of the bolts except 1 from a corner. Loosen that bolt a little and pry the transmission pan free. Make sure you have a large enough container to catch the transmission fluid.
Continue to loosen the pan until you get some of the transmission fluid out. Support the pan, remove the last bolt and remove the pan.
Under the pan you will find the filter. It may be held in place with a bolt.
Simply replace the filter with the correct filter.
There may be some shavings inside the transmission pan. This is normal as long as they aren't excessive. Clean out the pan.
Install the pan using a new gasket. Add transmission fluid, Dextron II. Warm the engine and transmission and check the fluid level. Drive it some and check the level again.
Properly dispose of the old transmission fluid.

Continue to loosen the pan until you get some of the transmission fluid out. Support the pan, remove the last bolt and remove the pan.
Under the pan you will find the filter. It may be held in place with a bolt.
Simply replace the filter with the correct filter.
There may be some shavings inside the transmission pan. This is normal as long as they aren't excessive. Clean out the pan.
Install the pan using a new gasket. Add transmission fluid, Dextron II. Warm the engine and transmission and check the fluid level. Drive it some and check the level again.
Properly dispose of the old transmission fluid.
How do you change a subaru baja transmission fluid?
I just need to find out where to add the transmission fluidHow do you change a subaru baja transmission fluid?
AUTO OR MANUALHow do you change a subaru baja transmission fluid?
if you have a search around on the top half of the gearbox, you should find a round bolt bung thing with a square head on it, should fit a socket!How do you change a subaru baja transmission fluid?
Adding gear oil is a pain in the butt. You have to use a funnel and stand back! Look in your owner's manual in the maintenance section and they will show you where to find the drain plug and the fill plug.How do you change a subaru baja transmission fluid?
ya i totally agree with the pain in the butt part I would recomend buying a little hand pump to pump the fluid up in there with so that you dont make as bad of a mess. You would be amazed at how much fluid you can waste with a funnel and trying to get the stuf in there. Its hard enough on a truck where you have some room to roll around, let alone under a subie which i dunno bout you but i can barely get under mine to change the oil without putting it up on little car ramps (and if you put it up on them you better do it under al 4 tires in your case so the tranny stays level since the add plug is also the fill level generally :p good luck) and look in the manual for the location of the plugs if you cant find them yourselfacne on back shoulders AJAX in .net

How much should I expect to change differential oil and transmission fluid in my FORD EXPEDITION?
I really don't have the time or space to do it myself right now and have never done it before so I'm just trying to figure out how much it'll costHow much should I expect to change differential oil and transmission fluid in my FORD EXPEDITION?
Since you don't have to have it done often you can just take it to a Jiffy Lube or something. The ones around here charge about $45-$65 for a tranny service and they will usually top off your diff fluids for free. If you want them to completely change the diff and transfer case fluid I would bet it would be another 25-35 bucks.How much should I expect to change differential oil and transmission fluid in my FORD EXPEDITION?
Just as an FYI. I would recommend getting the transmission filter changed at the same time as doing the flush.
And as far as the differentials are concerned. They are supposed to take full synthetic gear oil. Given that you have used the full synthetic when they were filled, unless they are leaking or low i would not change the fluid. The only time that it calls for the fluid to be changed is when the vehicle has been submerged in water. i would just take out the top plug on the differential and make sure that it is filled with oil up to that point.
The gear oil is not cheap, not to mention if you have a Traction-Lock system you need the additive in the oil when you change it.How much should I expect to change differential oil and transmission fluid in my FORD EXPEDITION?
flush or change? change tranny and filter,,80 to 100,, and 50 for the difs,,,another 50 for the transfer case,,,dealer? add 1/3 to cost...

HOW DO I KNOW IF MY TRANSMISSION IN MY 1998 FORD TAURS NEEDS TO BE REBUILT OR JUST THE VALVES AND FLUID CHANGE?
my car was idling and not knowing i put it into drive and the transmission jumped, then it started leaking tranny fluid. i was told to replace the transmission line bolt but the transmission is slipping. should i try changing the valve and fluids before putting in a new or rebuilt transmission.HOW DO I KNOW IF MY TRANSMISSION IN MY 1998 FORD TAURS NEEDS TO BE REBUILT OR JUST THE VALVES AND FLUID CHANGE?
first i would fix the leak then change the fluid and filter. if it,s been slipping for sometime, you might need to have it rebuilt or get another transmission.

How much would it cost to change the transmission fluid on my 2000 Impala? It is leaking and FILTHY!!?
lets just hope the front seal did,nt blow. if your going to change the fluid at home then pick up a gasket and filter along with about 6 or 7 quarts of fluid. it,s not a hard job to do. your probably looking around 50 or 75 dollars for the parts if you do the job yourself. don,t flush it, just drain it and change the fluid and filter. flushing can blow seals and gaskets.How much would it cost to change the transmission fluid on my 2000 Impala?

Why is there transmission fluid in my radiator?
I have a 1995 Fleetwood Cadillac, we had to replace the radiator shortly after we got the car. Since then we have been losing transmission fluid, my husband changed the fluid and screen and it was still slipping and when he went to flush the radiator he discovered where the trans fluid has been going. Why and how did it get in there? Was the radiator installed incorrectly? Also we have noticed a smell of antifreeze coming into the car. Is all of this linked and is there something major wrong, or can it be fixed easily?Why is there transmission fluid in my radiator?
The radiator also contains a transmission fluid cooler, and they share the antifreeze solution. If the trans cooler section is leaking internally into the radiator, that would explain how the trans fluid got into your cooling system. When you replaced the radiator, was it a new unit or used/rebuilt? The new one may have been defective all along. Stranger things have happened.
Anyway, the best thing to do is to replace the radiator again, but this time, have it pressure tested before it is installed.Why is there transmission fluid in my radiator?
Unfortunately, it's time to change that radiator again - and hopefully get one that lasts a longer this time. The transmission is cooled by separate tubes which are run through the engine coolant.
The %26quot;smell of antifreeze%26quot; inside the vehicle is almost always a sure sign that the heater core is seeping and also needs replacement.Why is there transmission fluid in my radiator?
Antifreeze smell in the car is a leaking heater core. Costly repair in a 95 Fleetwood.
Transmission fluid in the radiator can only come from a ruptured tank. There is a tank inside the radiator that transmission fluid runs through. This is to cool the transmission. The tank has an internal leak. Installation had nothing to do with that. Trouble is, if antifreeze has gotten to the transmission, that will destroy it.
Bad heater core,
Bad radiator,
Bad transmission (slipping),
Time to go shopping!Why is there transmission fluid in my radiator?
At least it is a simple problem. The bottom of the radiator contains a transmission oil cooing loop, and that has failed. It is a common problem that requires replacement of the radiator. The transmission fluid is undoubtedly contaminated with coolant, but I have never known that to damage a transmission even when the fluid looked like a strawberry milkshake.
The cooling system should be flushed (about the only time I recommend cooling system flushes) and the transmission fluid should be changed. I am not familiar with Caddies, but if transmission flushes are approved the transmission should be flushed also. New radiator, new fluids, life is good again. EDIT - wait until this is done before worrying about the smell of antifreeze - we know there is one leak (inside the radiator into the transmission). Odds are that is the only one.Why is there transmission fluid in my radiator?
the transmission fluid flows through the radiator to keep it cool. In the radiator there is a coil or heat exchanger that the trans fluid flows through and is cooled by the surrounding antifreeze. if this coil leaks the fluid will leak into the radiator and mix with the antifreeze and you will get antifreeze in your transmission as well.
I would call it a defective radiatorWhy is there transmission fluid in my radiator?
Thats where the tranny fluid is cooled, they are kept separateWhy is there transmission fluid in my radiator?
There is NO WAY that trans. fluid cana get into the radiator, unless you or someone else is putting it in.Why is there transmission fluid in my radiator?
Wow!, you have another bad radiator, at the bottom of the radiator there are 2 tranny lines that run into a seperate chamber and the fluid is cooled this way but it is seperated from the radiator fluid, apparently this lower chamber has busted allowing the fluid to get into the radiator fluid, you will need a new radiator and you will also now need to get the tranny flushed out and a new tranny filter as the radiator fluid is now in your transmission, also the engine cooling system will need flushed to get the tranny fluid out of the engine and new coolant will need to be added.Why is there transmission fluid in my radiator?
no dear it was installed right. what,s wrong is there is a hole in the cooler tank on the side of the radiator and the transmission fluid and anti-freeze is mixing. what you need to do is replace the radiator and check to see if you have anti-freeze in the transmission.What comes in a duvet set cute myspace

two plugs on side of trans on drives side both same size plug on on side on bottom is drain other half way up fill drain it from bottom put plug back in upper on fill with AFT until it start to spill out the hole than its full put the plug back it and doneHow to check and change the manual transmission fluid on a 4wd 2001 Toyota Tacoma ?
On the side of the tranny (usually the driver's side) is a plug. In most cases a 3/8 ratchet will fit into the square socket of the plug . Remove plug. Stick your finger in the hole. If your finger is wet, the tranny is full. If your finger is dry, the tranny is low. To drain the tranny, there is another plug on the bottom side. Drain, replace bottom plug, add fluid through side hole (see owners manual for amount), when fluid comes out side hole its full, replace side plug.
Now for the hard part. You MUST check the owners manual to see if your tranny takes automatic tranny fluid (Dextron II) or axle oil (90 weight). Different trannys, even by the same company will take different fluids due to their design.

How much transmission fluid does a 1997 ford explorer 5.0 awd ned to fill it up?
im changing the transmission fluid in my explorer and need to know how much transmission fluid i need.How much transmission fluid does a 1997 ford explorer 5.0 awd ned to fill it up?
5 Quarts for a fluid and filter change. As always, capacities are approximate. Final level should be determined by use of the dipstick, following proper procedure.
You can download a PDF copy of your Owner's Manual from Ford here;
https://www.fleet.ford.com/maintenance/o
Page 186 (page 185 of the PDF) outlines the proper procedure.
I would recommend against starting the engine after adding only a couple quarts. This would be low enough where the fluid pickup could be uncovered, and your transmission would be sucking air. Not good. Fill with engine off until level reaches %26quot;add%26quot; mark. Start engine and shift through gears, and add to the %26quot;add%26quot; mark again. Drive until fluid is at operating temp, and fill to %26quot;full%26quot; mark.
Fluid level will drop when engine is started, and rise as operating temperature is approached.How much transmission fluid does a 1997 ford explorer 5.0 awd ned to fill it up?
1. What I do is pull out the fluid. Measure that amount and re-install the exact amount I took out. Then when you start it up and get it warm, it may have been down before you drained it, then you can top it off.
2. Its very easy to overfill if you read the book and it says to put so much back in. Be very careful of this route, because its easy to overfill and that's not good for your seals.
3. For exact amounts, check with the auto zone, go to the book in the glove box, or find a Haynes manual at the auto zone and look at that. You don't have to buy it just check it out, find out what kind of fluid you need and how much. Again just don't trust the book if your doing the fluid extraction, go back to my 1.How much transmission fluid does a 1997 ford explorer 5.0 awd ned to fill it up?
well first change the filter and pan gasket (removing transmission fluid dipstick first) and then once youve done all the cleaning out and changing parts pour about half the bottle in then start the car up and run it operational temperature bout 10-15 mins, then check dipstick for fluid level...shift gears from reverse to 3 and 4 several times then check levels again and top up to just below max mark as the fluid will expand when engine is hot. You will probably need the whole bottle normally 0,5L and maybe even more if needs be.How much transmission fluid does a 1997 ford explorer 5.0 awd ned to fill it up?
i would say at least 6 or 7 quarts.the torque converter will hold the most.How much transmission fluid does a 1997 ford explorer 5.0 awd ned to fill it up?
well if you are just changing the fluid and filter I think it takes 5 qt's, I always pour 2 qt's and start up motor allow to warm up and check the fluid and go from there.

How do you get someone to understand the importance of changing transmission fluid?
I posted a question about changing this fluid and got some good answers a few days ago.
I need to understand how come the owner of the car doesn't see the importance in it cause her husband said it should not be done cause when it is changed it causes problems in the transmission.
I really wish I could understand their thinking on this but I just can't put my finger on it.
All insight on this is appreciated. The owner doesn't believe what I say to be true but I am trying to save her thousands of dollars.
No this is not me and my car. I am just wondering if anyone has known someone like this and could you ever get your point across to them.How do you get someone to understand the importance of changing transmission fluid?

if foiled is old an burnt an gumd up if you change it it unclog an cleen gumd an trans will start slipping . it is reccomed to change every 25to30 thound miles so it dont get burnt an gumed up hope this helpsHow do you get someone to understand the importance of changing transmission fluid?
he has probably been through something similar where he doesn't do a trans flush for a while and when he finally does it breaks down this is common throughout the automotive industryHow do you get someone to understand the importance of changing transmission fluid?
Well, probably for the same reason other people don't do it.
If it were a newer car, say 10 years old or less, I'd change it at the specified times.
BUT
Say the car is 30 years old..........
I had an old ford, a 70, that All I did was put gas in and add oil when it needed it. I bought if for a hundred bucks.
I went from the east coast to the west coast numerous times and put thousands of miles on it over a period of five years. I would still have it running if it weren't for the electrical problems that mechanics couldn't fix. The car would go 120 MPH plus and rode like a dream and I never changed the oil or transmission fluids. But then again, cars back then were built to last with minimum maintenance. Unlike today's disposable cars that you buy, drive for three years, and then get rid of before they crap out on you.how can i upgrade my pc ram messenger connection

if foiled is old an burnt an gumd up if you change it it unclog an cleen gumd an trans will start slipping . it is reccomed to change every 25to30 thound miles so it dont get burnt an gumed up hope this helpsHow do you get someone to understand the importance of changing transmission fluid?
he has probably been through something similar where he doesn't do a trans flush for a while and when he finally does it breaks down this is common throughout the automotive industryHow do you get someone to understand the importance of changing transmission fluid?
Well, probably for the same reason other people don't do it.
If it were a newer car, say 10 years old or less, I'd change it at the specified times.
BUT
Say the car is 30 years old..........
I had an old ford, a 70, that All I did was put gas in and add oil when it needed it. I bought if for a hundred bucks.
I went from the east coast to the west coast numerous times and put thousands of miles on it over a period of five years. I would still have it running if it weren't for the electrical problems that mechanics couldn't fix. The car would go 120 MPH plus and rode like a dream and I never changed the oil or transmission fluids. But then again, cars back then were built to last with minimum maintenance. Unlike today's disposable cars that you buy, drive for three years, and then get rid of before they crap out on you.
1998 BMW 528I is giving me some problem with transmission, is the fluid and the filter in it replacable, how?
The engine and the transmission always needs to be warmed up, before I take it to drive. Even on a hot summer day. Do you think changing the transmission fluid and filter might help. Operator's manual says that 528I has a lifetime transmission fluid in it. That means you will never have to replace the fluid??? Please help. Thanks1998 BMW 528I is giving me some problem with transmission, is the fluid and the filter in it replacable, how?
You have not been clear on the problem with your tranny leading you to warm it up first.
I think that when BMW says %26quot;lifetime oil%26quot;, it means up to the point where they no longer are responsible for whatever happens to the transmission.
For a ten year old car, with presumably high mileage, then go ahead and replace the fluid. But use the recommended oil
and nothing else . Do not use ATF no matter what others say.
Do not flush the tranny. Either just drain and replace the oil
(see previous posts on this topic, I am tired of repeating the same procedure over and over again), or remove the tranny oil pan, clean it, clean or replace the filter, then refill. I repeat, follow proper procedures.
I do not know if changing the oil would correct your problem, but it is at least worth the try.

How to change automatic transmission fluid on 2005 ford focus 2.0 liter?
Drive it to a shop, preferably to a FORD shop - not a quickie lube shop.
Tell them %26quot;change my transmission fluid and filter, please%26quot;.
Wait... Pay.
Drive away.
These days you need to push the fluid through the cooler so you change all the fluid. Not an easy job as home. Then you need to take the fluid somewhere to dispose of.

Automatic Transmission fluid should be changed every 30,000 miles or 24 months according to Honda motor corp.How often do i need to change the automatic transmission fluid on my 02 Civic? I lost the owner%26039;s manual eh...?
At least every 30K miles, depending on yoru driving habits. The 30K mile interval is for %26quot;normal%26quot; driving conditions. Some manufacturers consider %26quot;normal%26quot; to be under 20 miles per day in non-stop-and-go traffic. Unless that statement applies to you, I think most people should go 15-20K. If you drive hard, even more often.
When you change the fluid, make sure you drain, fill, start the car and shifting through R N D several times (to circulate the fluid). Then repeat again until you have drained and filled at least 3 times. You will never get 100% of the old fluid out, but will dilute the old fluid enough to where you have mostly new fluid.How often do i need to change the automatic transmission fluid on my 02 Civic?

How to change Ford Freestar transmission fluid? And how much fluid needed?
The AX4N transaxle pan drop and filter change will take about 6 or 7 quarts. Use Mercon V transmission fluid and I would add 4 quarts and then start the engine and cycle the transmission shifter through the gears and back to park and then add the remaining fluid as necessary to bring the fluid level up to the cold level on the dipstick. After the engine and transmission is warmed to operating temperature I would cycle the transmission shifter through the gears and back to park again and then check to see if the fluid level has expanded to the hot level on the dipstick, and if not then I would add fluid as necessary to bring the fluid level up to the hot level on the dipstick. The system will take about 12 or 13 quarts to do a total flush and fill.How to change Ford Freestar transmission fluid? And how much fluid needed?

Questions about transmission service (fluid and filter change)?
I need to get a transmission fluid and filter change on my '98 Cavalier LS and want to do it as cheaply and effectively as possible.
I researched and found that transmission service can include: dropping the pan and changing the filter %26amp; some but not all of the fluid; various %26quot;flushes%26quot;; and a %26quot;T-Tech%26quot; fluid exchange (which Jiffy Lube uses). I assume that different places do different things, and I've seen prices ranging from $80 to $215 for %26quot;transmission service.
My questions:
What method of transmission service do you think is best?
Are most shops willing to tell you what method they use?
How much should each method of transmission service cost?
I would love to do it myself, but I don't think I have the right tools or place to do the job...Questions about transmission service (fluid and filter change)?
I would do it the old fashioned way, drop the pan and change the filter and refill the tranny but thats just me, I have been doing it that way for years with no tranny problems and it's a lot cheaper than the new fangled way of flushing the tranny and not changing the filter.Questions about transmission service (fluid and filter change)?
If your fluid still has good color %26amp; does not smell burnt. then drop the pan %26amp; change the filter %26amp; fill it back up.
If it is black %26amp; or smells burnt. Have it changed at jiffy lube so they can remove all the fluid. Then insist on changing the filter after that or do it yourself.
Good luckQuestions about transmission service (fluid and filter change)?
flushes are great IF they first drop the pan and change the filter, clean the clutch dust from the pan and magnet(if equipped)

I have a 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart. I need to know how to change the Transmission Fluid. Help !!!?
Is it an automatic or manual transmission?
If it's a manual transmission, you do know that you probably dont need to replace the fluid, right?
Pop the hood, and check near the right and left side for a lid- plastic or metal. Make sure and identify where you put antifreeze, oil, etc first. If you have the book that came with your car, that will tell you.
Thoroughly inspect under the hood parts, its there, and its labeled. LOOK for it, its thereI have a 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart. I need to know how to change the Transmission Fluid. Help !!!?

How do i change my transmission fluid on my 1991 Cehvy S-10 manual transmission. and what fluid to use.?
well you just pull out the drain plug and the fill plug let it drain out into a pan then put the drain plug back in and refill it. The tough part is knowing what type of fluid to put back in. In 1991 the chevy S-10 had 2 different transmissions. One takes regular dexron III and the other one takes a fluid called synchromesh. It will look like oil or even a thin gear lube. It is basically a 5w30 oil with synthetic additives in it. I dont really know how to tell you what type of fluid it is and you will even find that the dealers and auto parts stores will give you conflicting answers. I own and operate 3 pennzoil oil changes and when we have one come in without an owners manual we have a 1-800 from Pennzoil that supplies us with the technologial answers like these. What they have on their end is pictures of the tranny and we need to tell them where the drain and the fill plugs are located. THey can then tell us what type of fluid it takes. I can tel you that GM never put gear lubbe in it manual trannies if it does not look red at all then I is most likely synchromesh which you will have to get at a dealership. Hope this helps if you still cant figure it out email me and tell me where the drain and fill plugs are located and I can call the hotline and get the correct answer for you. I willl also need to know if it is a 4 or 5 speed.

There should be a drain plug at the bottom of the transmission case. Most of these newer transmissions take automatic transmission fluid ( Dexron ) due to the close tolerances, but check with a good parts store or your owners manual and it will tell you what kind to use. Some also use low viscosity Engine Oil...like 5w-30....so you see it's real important to use the right stuff. You will also need something to pump the fluid/oil into the transmission. I use to use a %26quot; suction gun%26quot; with a hose on it...either pour it in or use the gun to suck it in , then push the fluid into the transmission...should take a little shy of 3 Quarts.

2000 acura integra manual transmission fluid?
I need to know what to buy to change my transmission fluid for a 5 speed manual transmission. I understand that I am suppose to have a %26quot;crushed%26quot; washer for both the filler plug and the drain plug but no one at the auto store knows what I am talking about. Was I given the wrong name for the washer or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated. And please don't tell me to go to a shop and get it done. I can figure out how to change transmission fluid out on my own. Thank you =)2000 acura integra manual transmission fluid?

most manual there is a plug under the car on the rback or side of trans... and a fill plug about same place but high up on the side... best if you just pay some one.. but if you want you jack up car get unde rit to drain it not hard.... but filling you have to squeaze the gear oil back in so buy like three bottles ... or get a real long runbber hose.. fill til you can touch the oil with little finger or it runs out... easy to do if its on a lift and you have a pump2000 acura integra manual transmission fluid?
the trans fluid is 2.5quarts - 3quarts of 5w 30 or 10w 30 oil only. all honda manual trans use motor oil. only the autos use dexronlll/mercon. for the washers, best is to go to an acura dealer and buy them. the joe schmo shops get their stuff from companies that replicate the replacement parts and sometimes it doesn't fit right and all they can do is just match it to the best that they can with what ever they have that's closest to dimensions..2000 acura integra manual transmission fluid?
you dont need to replace the washers....there is a bottom bolt that needs to be taken out to drain and a bolt on top to refill...just like how azn street racer gave...but you can also fill it from the top at the reverse sensor which is a whole lot easier.....its going to take about 2 quarts (check in your manual for the correct amount) of 10w30 or go to the dealer and get some syncro mesh...2000 acura integra manual transmission fluid?
go to grease and go or jiffylube and let the pros be responsible for screwing up your car...or you could screw it up all on your own!!!2000 acura integra manual transmission fluid?
The washer you're talking about is only for the oil pan. The transmission pan and filler plug don't have the washers.
To remove the transmission fluid, you use a 3/8%26quot; socket wrench, you don't even need a socket because the wrench fits right on the plug and turn counter-clockwise (looking at the bolt) to unscrew. Drain the fluid and put the plug back on.
The filler plug is going to be on the %26quot;outside%26quot; of the transmission, the side that faces the wheel. You'll see a plug on the side, near the top of the transmission, but on the side, not the top facing up. This one you'll need to use a 15 or 16 mm socket. Same thing, turn counter-clockwise looking at bolt, to unscrew off. Use a long rubber hose and a funnel to feed the transmission fluid down. Keep filling until the fluid starts to run out that hole. This means you've reached the top and you can stop. Put the plug back in and tighten.
Keep in mind, for a manual transmission, you DO NOT use automatic transmission fluid (DEXRON II or III, or any other ATF types). You use regular motor oil. I used Mobil 1 synthetic motor oil 5w30 in my Teg (it's a 92, but same thing). Some say you should not use synthetic, but I've been using it for 220K now and now issue.
Good luck.

Keep in mind, for a manual transmission, you DO NOT use automatic transmission fluid (DEXRON II or III, or any other ATF types). You use regular motor oil. I used Mobil 1 synthetic motor oil 5w30 in my Teg (it's a 92, but same thing). Some say you should not use synthetic, but I've been using it for 220K now and now issue.
Good luck.
Do you have to change the auto transmission fluid of Altima 2002?
when you have to do it, do you need if you have to change the filter too, and how do you do it??Do you have to change the auto transmission fluid of Altima 2002?
Yes, you should to change it about every 12 months. To do it you remove the bolts from the transmission pan. Leave the four bolts of the corners for last. Take these about half way out and then pry the pan from the bottom of the transmission, (if it doesn't come down on its own.) then, while holding the pan up with one hand, remove 3 of the remaining bolts. Tilt the pan down and use the corner opposite the remaining bolt to let the fluid pour into your drain pan. When you've gotten as much as you can out of the pan, push it back up and remove the last bolt and take it down. Doing it this way will keep you from taking a transmission fluid bath. Pour the rest of the fluid into the drain pan after you get out from under the car. Take out the filter. Some of them push up and are held in place by bolt, while others are held up by an o-ring on the outside of the tube and rest on the bottom of the pan. Clean out the pan with some break clean and a rag. Use your finger to put a light coat of grease around the rim of the pan where the gasket sits. This will stick the gasket to the pan while you put it back in place and, at the same time, avoid problems transmission fluid has of disolving silicone. Replace the filter. Hold the pan up in position and put in enough bolts in to hold the pan up. Replace the rest of the bolts and snug them up. Do not overtighten the bolts. This will cause the pan to be warped between the bolt holes and it will leak. Add the proper amount of fluid and check for any leaks. Start the car and warm it up. Go through all the gears and put it in park and check for leaks. If the pan is leaking then tighten the bolts up a little until the leaks stop. Be sure to check the bolts after a week or two to make sure the pan hasn't started leaking because of the compression of the gasket.Do you have to change the auto transmission fluid of Altima 2002?
you need to service the transmission every 30,000 miles, filter included, I would suggest taking it to a shop, they will be able to tell you if there is any preexisting problems, when they pull the pan, also if you do not put the gasket on right it will leak and if you overtighten the pan bolts it will leak and you may strip the bolt hole or twist off a bolt. it is nice to save money, but this could cost you more doing it yourself, compared to what a shop would charge youDo you have to change the auto transmission fluid of Altima 2002?

2005 Honda Civic Transmission and Radiator Fluid Change?
I was told I needed Transmission Fluid and Radiator Fluid change..
How much would both of the cost ? and if I had to pick one to do right now and the other later which one should I have done tomorrow?
I have a 2005 Honda Civic little over 61,000 miles ..2005 Honda Civic Transmission and Radiator Fluid Change?
I would definitely change the transmission fluid.
At 60,000 miles it would be good to drain and refill it twice with a short drive in between to mix up the fluid. You might put off the cooling system but do it at least by this coming fall.
The reason is that the automatic tranny holds over 6 quarts but when you drain it only 2.9 quarts comes out. So to get out more of the old fluid you need to drain and refill it at least twice at your mileage. Use only Honda ATF fluid. Get it at the dealer or at a Carquest auto parts store. Cost is around $6.50 to $8 a quart. So doing it yourself will cost $40 to $50 for the fluid. Put a new washer on the drain plug as well.
Changing either of these will not make your car drive faster.
And DON'T flush a Honda transmission unless you are looking for trouble.2005 Honda Civic Transmission and Radiator Fluid Change?
Just because it's a Honda doesn't mean proper maintenance shouldn't be done. Sure, transmission fluid can last up to 90,000 miles but that's under %26quot;normal%26quot; conditions. If you do a lot of city driving, short trips and such or live in more extreme warm or cold conditions it is recommended you change the fluid more often. If you never changed the fluid my suggestion is to do it now. It should cost between $100 and $150 for a good flush of the system.
Same goes for the radiator fluid but should be changed even more so. If it's the regular green fluid (in which I think Civics use) the most I would go would be 2 years or 30,000 miles. A flush should cost around $80 to $100.
Honda's are good cars, but not that good to skip maintenance. If I were you I would try to get both done more sooner then later.2005 Honda Civic Transmission and Radiator Fluid Change?
its an 05 you wont need one of those for at least another 2 years, its a honda! its so easy to do on a Honda it shouldnt cost but 12 dollars and flud for the radiator. as far as the trans depends on the shop call around.

Did they change my transmission fluid?
I paid the local Acura dealership to change my transmission fluid at 60K, however, I have had a couple of oil change franchises state that I still need to have this done. That showed me the fluid on the dipstick placed on a white towelette. It appeared to be a rusty brown with a hint of purple. I know that most automatic transmission fluids are pink to magenta in color. Did they just park my car in the rear and call me later in the day? How can I know if they have actually did the work that I paid for? I now have 68K on the Acura TL.Did they change my transmission fluid?
The Acura TL transmission holds about 7 quarts of fluid, when you drain it only about three quarts will drain out, to really get a fluid change you need to drain three quarts, re-fill it, drive the car for about ten minutes,cycling through all the gears, come back, drain three quarts, re-fill it, drive the car for about ten minutes, come back, drain three quarts, re-fill it, and then it will be about 95% changed. I doubt any dealer would actually go through the whole process.
NEVER EVER have the TL transmission power flushed, it will cause more problems than the transmission ever had.Did they change my transmission fluid?
transmission fluid is redish brown after you have drove it even with fresh oil it does stay bright red but a day or two if you have had it change any time you done all you need really only needs it once or twice in a life time of one many auto companies say 60,000 100,000 miles or more before it needs it most likely they just want your money dont need it done but ever 10 yrs or so if any truth is most transmission will how last the motor even without changing it.. ive been driving over 40 yrs and ive own many a car and ive never replace trans fluid in any car and never had one go out from lack of itDid they change my transmission fluid?
hard to tell but if fluid is dirty already it don't sound like they changed itDid they change my transmission fluid?
It is possible to cheat you but not worth the trouble.
It is worth it to the other changers to sell you another change.Did they change my transmission fluid?
Honda aka Accura in this vehicle it requires a special type of fluid from your description in paticular the purple you have the correct fluid.

How do I change the Transmission Fluid on a 96 2.4L Dodge Stratus?
I actually know how to change the transmission fluid but the real question that I have is do I need to put in a new filter and gasket. I got the car right before winter ended with a new used transmission in it. I drove it until now which is september and put probably under 10,000 mi on it. About a month ago I had a transmission slip so I put some fluid in it (around a half of a quart) and it has shifted great ever since. Here is the problem, the fluid that I put in the car was Dextron 111 which I now know is a big NO. At the time I didnt know this. I recently have had an error code 72 come up which either means catalytic converter failure or the transmission will go out. This is why I want to Change out the fluid before something bad happens. With so few miles on it do I have to change the filter and gasket? Also how many quarts of fluid...I heard that it is around 10How do I change the Transmission Fluid on a 96 2.4L Dodge Stratus?
Total fluid Replacement will take that trans a long way, as anyone will tell you, heat kills. this is especially important with the 41TE automatic transaxle. The fluid tends to break down rapidly and will cause issues with seals and clutches, especially in the torque converter.
It's good practice to replace the filter at least every 60K miles.
After replacing filter (some residue is normal, be suspicious of metalic debris). reseal the pan (some have reusable gaskets) fill the trans and drive it a few miles to bring the trans to operating temp.
Then disconnect the cooler lines and purge the trans of the remaining fluid, while adding fluid thru the dipstick, to maintain a supply for the pump to operate. after you have added and recovered about 6-7 quarts(the more the better), shut the engine off and reconnect the lines, refill the trans and your done. This replaces 99% of the fluid and is exactly what the dealership or shop will do, (except they use a pump to supply the trans with fresh fluid thru the disconnected cooler line)How do I change the Transmission Fluid on a 96 2.4L Dodge Stratus?
4 quarts since you just change what is in the pan,also the filter when pan is off,it is cheap so just replace it.How do I change the Transmission Fluid on a 96 2.4L Dodge Stratus?
if you let that one drain for a while you need to have 5 quarts on hand when you change that, or you may find it to be a little low,and change the filter on it their not that expensive to replace,never drop a pan and not change the filter on it,your only asking for problems if you do that,good luck.

change the tranny fluid and filter in the tranny every 50,000 miles.How many times do i have to change my transmission fluid?
about every 20,000 miles depending on the makeHow many times do i have to change my transmission fluid?
Manual: Most manufacturers recommend that manual transmission fluid be changed every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. Under heavy-duty use, some manufacturers suggest changing transmission fluid every 15,000 miles.
Automatic: Service intervals for an automatic transmission vary from every 30,000 miles ... to never. The typical service interval is 60,000 to 100,000 miles. Changing it more often does no harm.How many times do i have to change my transmission fluid?
READ YOUR OWNER%26quot;S MANUAL!!!!! It will tell you in the maintenance schedule. Also, today's cars have SPECIFIC trans fluids that must be used with SPECIFIC characteristics. VW/Audi, for example, have gold colored mineral oil for trans fluid. Ask your question at the dealership that carries YOUR kind of car to get the right answer. All cars are NOT the same!!! There is NO universal trans fluid, either!How many times do i have to change my transmission fluid?
Two years or 30,000 miles is about as long as I'd trust a batch of transmission fluid.
The traditional method of changing fluid - dropping the pan and refilling - doesn't change all of it at once, but if your fluid is off-color, you probably don't want to change all of it at once.

How much should it cost to change the spark plugs and replace the transmission fluid/filter on a Grand Prix?
I have a 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix SE. It has 102,000 miles on it and I'm wondering roughly what it should cost to have the spark plugs replaced and have my transmission fluid and filter changed. I live in LA.
ThanksHow much should it cost to change the spark plugs and replace the transmission fluid/filter on a Grand Prix?
Josh didn't mention changing his transmission filter so, add about $20 or so.
Yes, you %26quot;have%26quot; to have the plat. plugs or else your Check Engine light will come on.
The Plat. plugs are also why you got 102k out of your first ones.
Not sure about the LA area but, 6 plugs at about $15 a piece is normal - plus labor if a garage does it.
[Plus beers, if I do it... :) ]
[[Correction, %26quot;plus beers as I watch you do it and I supervise.%26quot;]]
Total should be less than $200 if you do it. $325ish if done at a shop.How much should it cost to change the spark plugs and replace the transmission fluid/filter on a Grand Prix?
Considering, it's a 2002 with that many miles i would also have the spark plus wires replaced. Get the platinum spark plugs.
I had my done by the dealer for about 85 dollars.
Also, I changed the fluid myself. The fluid is expensive for this car type. You need type IV.
I used Castrol and it took 4 quarts costing 6 bucks a piece.
So your looking at about 125-150 bucks if you do the tranny fluid yourself.

Estimates to have transmission fluid replaced?
I've got a few questions about cost for maintanence on my older Saturn. And I go to a local garage.
How much to change the transmission fluid? I've also heard differing opinions on that. Some say it'll mess up your car and don't do it. Others say it's just as necessary as changing the oil.
How much to get a coolant flush done?
And how much for a tune-up and what should be involved in a tune-up?Estimates to have transmission fluid replaced?
Trans fluid needs to be flushed every 60,000km. Not changed, flushed.
People are right when they say it can do more harm than good
but thats only when you havent been doing your regular fluid changes
on the transmission, say you never done one in 100,000km.
Coolant flush around 80-100 bucks.
Tune up is usually spark plugs , air filters, tire pressures, small work.Estimates to have transmission fluid replaced?
don't have it flushed unless you want problems, just have the garage drop the transmission fluid pan and change the transmission filter and bolt back up and refill with new fluid, about $60 to $75.

can someone help how to do that? i searched the internet and could not find anything. how many liters would be necessary?thanksHow to change the automatic transmission fluid in a Chrysler 300m?
It's really not a job for anybody that hasn't done it before or at least hasn't changed a oil pan gasket etc before but you can get service manuals that will help you out in doing the job.
No1You have to jack up the vehicle and place it on stands , then apply the emg brake, open the hood then go under the vehicle and unbolt the transmission pan%26quot;note on some vehicles there might be pieces of the cross member or frame support etc that might have to be removed first to gain access to the pan fully%26quot; drain the fluid into a proper container
No2 pop out the filter
No3 you have to clean the pan and scrape off the old gasket from the pan too
No4 make sure the surface that the pan attaches to on the transmission is clean
No5 make sure that surface and the pan are shiny clean and fully dry and the bolt threads are clean and dry too
No6 pop in the new filter
No7 place the gasket around the pan and place the pan up to meet the transmission and install the bolts while you hold the pan in place but don't fully tighten any yet just install bolts across from each other first and hand tight.It's best to have a torgue ranch so you can use the manual to find out the specs and tighten the bolts accordingly
No8 once the bolts are all in and tight remove rejack the vehicle , remove the stands , release the emg brake
No9 use a funnel and add the fresh proper factory recommended transmission fluid and amount to the transmission
No10 check the fluid level and check the vehicle's transmission shifting, plus look for any leaks , test drive it.
Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way a service manual is really vital here or knowing the proper specs, plus having a helpful helper would be good too but really for the amount of work involved here it might be best to spend the 100 bucks or so to have a pro do the job.computer wont start up microsoft web hosting

At least how many kilometers do i have to change my transmission fluid (oil)?
my car mazda protege 2001 1.6L SE with 199,000 km on it.i drain it 2 yrs.ago,is synthetic transmission fluid recomended? thanks a lot!!!!!!At least how many kilometers do i have to change my transmission fluid (oil)?
If your putting on 25,000+ miles a year on that car then you should be doing it once a year. I don't think synthetic is relevant in this point of the car's life. I would just put in what is recommended from the factory.At least how many kilometers do i have to change my transmission fluid (oil)?
For most cars, generally, things like this are best done every 6 months or every 12,000 miles.
Personally, every 6 months, I put it into the garage for a service where all this stuff is done.At least how many kilometers do i have to change my transmission fluid (oil)?
not knowing how you drive i would go by the colour and aroma of the transmission fluid..red ok brown or dirty looking replace...and if it has a burnt aroma replace..other wise change it every 6mths or 12000km.
If your putting on 25,000+ miles a year on that car then you should be doing it once a year. I don't think synthetic is relevant in this point of the car's life. I would just put in what is recommended from the factory.At least how many kilometers do i have to change my transmission fluid (oil)?

Transmission fluid drain plug in 1997 eagle vision?
Does anyone know where I can find the drain plug? If possible, could anyone give me links to sites that tell how to change the transmission fluid in my eagle vision.Transmission fluid drain plug in 1997 eagle vision?
I don't believe this pan has a drain plug. Loosen all the bolts and loosen the pan w/ a putty knife. Then slowly lower the pan at one corner to allow the fluid to pour out into a drain pan. Once most of it is gone you can handle it and not spill it all over the place.Transmission fluid drain plug in 1997 eagle vision?
You gotta drop the pan...

Changing the transmission fluid on a 98 chevy silverado.?
I need to know how to add tranny fluid to a 98 chevy silverado. The dip stick says there is nothing in it, but I cant find a place to pour more fluid in. Can anyone help with this? I also need to know how to change it again, once I have it back home (filter, getting the fluid out, etc.) Any help you can provide would be great. Changing the transmission fluid on a 98 chevy silverado.?
You fill it through the dip stick tube.there's a special funnel you use, there cheap at any auto parts store. to change the fluid %26amp; filter you have to remove the transmission oil pan. not hard but messyChanging the transmission fluid on a 98 chevy silverado.?
You have to get the black funnel from walmart or the auto parts store that fits down the trans fluid dipstick tube and pour the trans fluid down the dipstick tube, then to drain it, you will need an oil pan and unbolt the back of the trans from the frame cross memeber, you will see it, then jack up the trans so that you can acces the rear bolts on the bottom of the trans fluid pan, then u have to take the trans fluid pan off, leve it a few hours so that the torque converter can drain properly, then re fill it, and you will be good to go, the best way to do this procedure is get a Haynes manual from the autoparts store and it tells u how to change the trans fluid.Changing the transmission fluid on a 98 chevy silverado.?
you use a funnel and add to where the dipstick comes out. to get the fluid and filter out is a bit of a project. i have done several over the years. that should be a 700 r4 transmission. the cross member needs to be disturbed to remove the pan and you need to be prepared for a mess if you have never done it before.
