With the Jatco auto in the FL1 you take a risk when handing it to someone to service/repair/anything. Many have never seen one let alone changed the Jatco oil correctly. The number of peeps who contact me on ere, post on ere or ask via you tube is shocking. Incorrect level or wrong bolt.
ur not wrong there, but after seeing the video u done and explaining to me how to do my first autobox oil , couldn't belive then how many people were doing it wrong
normal one was to do the drain plug with the engine off, then fill it up , but it of course leaves the box under filled , or when they just fill it up the the brim of the rubber plug on top of the gearbox and wait for the seals to blow
think I have it down pat now, seeing i change all my oils every year , got an infared thermostat which I use, now also having the hawkeye can get an even better temp reading of the auto box
ref the ird , I got my son James to do it and christ almighty the gorilla who done the drain plug up needs putting down
did buy the oil metal syringes from machine mart for the rear diff seeing there's no drain plug fitted
always buy genuine ATF oil, think it's £10 per litre ??? , know it's expensive but just think of the cost replacing the autobox
use 10/40 semi synthetic engine oil
