The transmission outlasted the car.
Also, how are you getting the new fluid in the tranny? I made myself a tranny filler out of one of those old water filled stainless steel fire extinguishers that used to be everywhere. Cost $5 at the scrapyard, it was out of date. I put in some tranny fluid, pressurize to 20 psi (I have a guage on it) and just push the trigger. A 20 minute job becomes a 20 second job. Here is a pic of what I mean. |
Yeah I can easily try alot of fluid inside of $800 bucks.
Sick. No I use the old funnel and a long bit of plastic tubing to get to the fill holes.
