'decent' lol I think not Well it dropped about 3.5l of oil bear in mind it also dropped 1 to 2l previously as then took barely 3l after i fitted the new filter and was no better After running it for a bit then shutting it off and restarting it works but then going again is intermittent I'm...

Yeah who would do such a thing? So I have an excuse at least. So nothing really happened I borrowed a ranger to do the towing I needed and just left it Just recently I decided that I should fix it and I brought fresh oil and a filter and I am going to start work on it today I'll put an update...

I've known him for quite a while and he's a family friend. I'm moving a house this weekend so he turned it out as fast as he could from me so maybe he made a mistake because he was in a rush...

I'm not sure one it's going it shifts fine and goes on the torque converter as normal but takes ages of idling before the gearbox will engage in the first place it just sits there and after a while I'll shift to drive again and the revs drop as it finally engages but now it takes 15 min and last...

My old box started pouring smoke on the m25 pulling an empty car transporter 2 hours into the home journey after 4 hours loaded on the way there (with a Ford sierra for weight reference) and it when completely dead with no gears at all (i forced it to a services still with drive up until i...

Also im not holding back money to the mechanic for this, i only picked it up on Friday and he hadn't invoiced it then

I tested the car this morning after it kicked out the fluid and it was even worse with trying to engage gears it took 10 mins before the box would engage So i sat thinking I'm going to have to spend more money on this, then i noticed the word 'more' i haven't paid the mechanic who did the job...

Think it was them yeah and I probably need to do the same I'm sure from them the ecu is solid I'll put some updates on in the morning after I've messed with it

I got lucky on the eyes but I did get a taste of it

I commonly work in my cars and have a few project cars so I get most stuff except auto boxes which due to their inherent complexity scare me so any advice is appreciated The truck has been remapped and all was fine with the running until the old box wore out If you are in the UK you might...

Easily but a mechanic did this for me on Monday and is a second hand box For science or something I will get a catch can and this time let it clear itself out and then drive it a bit if it shows symptoms of low fluid then I'll do a new filter if not I'll just run it for now and do a service...

Would it act up at all in any other way if the filter was blocked? It shifts fine and when I first checked the heat as soon as it was up on blocks so I could find the fill bolt and the right tool, it didn't feel too hot

A blocked filter... Do they do kits with all the orings and stuff to change one?

Ok tomorrow I will try again doing the exact same procedure but with it cold and in park I will get my catch can this time and let it put out the over fill until it is just trickling like the manual says As for the amount of fluid it gave me a mini heart attack seeing a full on flow of atf...

The pump should have been on and it should have leveled the sump but it put out a constant steam as if it was the drain bolt I can assure you it was the fill bolt

I had the engine running the truck in neutral and i had just cycled all the gears In the space of the 20 or 30 second the bolt was off it dumped about 2 to 3 liters of fluid out

The earlier comments are ment to describe just doing a top up so i remove the fill bolt i didn't plan on draining the box at all but something is up and it seems to be overfilled or i have done something wrong

So i did all of this exactly how you said leaving it running in neutral and when i got under it and as soon a the fill bolt came off ATF fluid came out like a tap The thing dumped about 2 liters out before i got the plug back in I don't know what went wrong and if my box was overfilled or...

Ok thank you h I'm about to dive under and do the oil but where can I find this switch?

Ok I have just got back from a drive and i got my ATF and parked it up and I'm going to drive it up onto blocks on all 4 wheels to make it level But on my journey i had 2 problems with it First i backed out of a space then drive wouldn't engage the a few mins later it was fine But now the...
