 There's no trans fluid in my radiator but there's definately water in the trans. Might get some cheap shit fluid to put through it... I was thinking ill run the cooler lines into a tub and start it up to pump it through while topping it up through the dipstick until it comes out red.. I just hope the trans survives it...

[davius]

Drained the sump and pumped through 4 ltrs this arvo... This is gonna take a fair bit of fluid I think lmao the milkshakes r on me

[winton]

the milkshakes r on me

did they bring any boys to the yard.

[davius]

Lol

how did you go pumping out the trans...I just did the Transbraked C4 on my car and poured 15 litres of Transmax Z through to flush it then another 5 to fill it...pretty costly exercise at $350 for 20 litres..

[davius]

Still going mate lol 12ltrs so far.. I've just been buying one or two 4ltr bottles of atf33 per week at $27 a peice. Can't wait to see some clean red stuff come out lol ill put through another 4ltrs tomorrow. it's getting darker slowly.. God I hope the trans hasn't carked it after all this

[davius]

20 ltrs down... It's coming out red now but not quite transparent, Might fill it up next week and take it for a little spin then drain it again and refill it. Hope I never have to do this again lol if the trans is all good ill chuck some new tyres on, register it then punish it for playing up lol

Got some velour seats today for $20 delivered...

They're a little bit rough but the foam is fine and would be good for a re trim eventually... Un like the drivers seat that was in it lol

[winton]

old seats had see better days lol. were thay the seats on gumtree?

[davius]

Yea mate, thought u might have seen them lol

[davius]

 Well she's registered now and shifting well  took it for a little cruise today.... Steerings a bit dicky and the brakes are spongey but that's tomorrow's mission.. new tyres on Monday and a bit of a service.. Should be good!

[davius]

So that didn't last long lol went for a cruise today and she's developed a hell of a vibration... At first it only happened when I turned and accelerated hard but now it's pretty much constant and the trans started to slip a bit when it happens. I'm guessing the trans is fucked after all that fluid flushing... I checked the x member, tail shaft and flywheel bolts and they're nice and tight.. Only thing I haven't checked is the bell housing bolts.. There's plenty of trans fluid in it too. Any ideas would be appreciated.

possibly the kick down is to loose, think once they start to shutter it's too late.


dose it do it when its cold?

[davius]

The kick down cable? If its loose would make the car vibrate like shit? By memory I think it is pretty loose... Pretty sure it was kicking back when I flattened it tho.

[winton]

yeh I had one years ago that I think was due to kick down not set up properly, I took a bw40 from a xf and fit it in place of a bw35 in a xr. I just whipped up a Bracket out of sheet metal and tech screws to mount the kick down. It didn't hold the best and the trans would start to shutter/vibrate especially as it changed gears.
