![]() This leaves the fluid LOW and not at the correct level as heat generated from friction in the running trans first heats the fluid then heat is transferred to to outer case. I've seen some techs cheat and use an infrared temp gun taking the temp of the trans case. ![]() One other note - I use a digital thermometer with an external probe and I take the actual fluid temp. When the correct temp is reached, enough overfilled fluid has dripped out leaving the trans at the correct level. As the fluid rises in temp and expands, the excess is spilling out of the fill hole. If you start with a full COLD pan (dripping) and engine RUNNING, the fluid is at it's highest level (overfilled). The correct fluid level is reached in transmissions without dipsticks on the principle that fluid expands as it is heated. You can keep doing this and eventually get it correct, but it's quicker and done the first time if you use my steps. If the fluid isn't dripping and you add more fluid when the fluid temp is supposedly correct the new fluid will chill the fluid in the case and you'll overfill. The mistake you're going to make is at step 14. When the fluid reaches the correct temp (temp range) pull the probe out cap off the trans, shift back into park, shut off the engine. Remove the plug and pump more fluid in until it drips.ġ5 As the fluid begins to warm up (engine running in neutral) fluid expands and will continue to drip out.ġ6. Start the car (COLD), shift through all the gears then back to neutralġ3. Question - 17) As long as the transmission takes in 6.6q i should be good ?Įverything looks good to me up to step 12. Question - 16) After it starts draining again in step 15, am i done? It should take another 1.5Q at this point? Should i keep the car running while i fill again ? Question - 15) if fluid is not draining -> add more. Question - 11) It should roughly take in 4 quarts at this point ( Correct estimate ?).ġ2) Once the fluid starts dripping put the drain plug back on and start the car ( be extra carefull).ġ3) Bring up the transmision between 86F to 100F.ġ4) Open the drain bolt and see if the fluid is draining. Question - 3) Open the drain bolt and let the fluid drain ( Probably a quart comes out ?).ģ) Remove the 4 nuts that hold the transmission and diff.Ĥ) Use a jack to raise the transmission enough to get to the pan bolts under the cross member.ĥ) Unscrew the bolts that hold the pan and take it off carefully.ħ) Clean the magnet in the pan and the pan in general.Ĩ) Put the pan back on( new gasket ) and bring the transmission down and bolt the screws on the cross member( not sure of the torque yet).ĩ) Unbolt the drain plug in the pan again. I have a list of steps i plan to take.Ĭan you please glance over them and make suggestions.ġ) Will jack the corvette on 4 Rhino ramps. ![]() ![]() I have done some research over the net and there seems to a slight grey area while filling up the transmission with fluid. I plan to do my automatic transmission fluid this weekend ( 2009 A6 base Z51 Package). ![]()
