Thru the dipstick tube. Where is it leaking from?

 

Dont call me stupid if this is way off but there is always a drip on the transfer case?

 

Not stupid. If the tranny oil pan gasket is leaking, air flow under the truck while it is moving could blow the fluid onto the transfer case and then it runs down and forms drops.

 

trans pan is a simple fix. i will do a how-to when i do my flush, clean, drain, filter, and fill

 

Jeremy beat you to it: http://www.355nation.net/forum/how-...views-service-bulletins/20882-how-4l60-e-trans-service-fliter-fluid-change.html

 

Did you check it cold? Engine running? If so, then its normal for the level to be there. Its best to go for a drive and get the atf to normal operating temps like 200 degrees. Usually takes about 15 mins of driving around. Then check the level, should be in the cross hatching area, doesn't have to be all the way to the tip of the top but in the area.

 

also check the condition color and smell

 

it was after i got home from work and it was running

i should have specified that in the original sry

 

um....

 

what is bad color and smell?

 

It's like coochy --- you just know when it smells bad!


















(Actually dark brown and burnt smelling)

 

forgot to add texture, rub it between ur fingers, if its gritty get it serviced and filter, also if its brown/blackish dark colored, or smells of BURNT get at least a flush

 

its all good

 

i wish we had a write up on the 5 speed.

that pic is fuckin classic.

 

finally got around to checking my tranny fluid and i think it was low... it was not in the etching and it was down around where it says cold.




where do i add tranny fluid at?

you always have to warm the tranny up first, it gets the fluids going, a cold tranny is a dry tranny. you sicko:ugh:










sorry been drinking but still its funny.

 

Darek Remove lower bolt drain, put bolt back remove upper bolt fill , put bolt back done. just dont overfill it it will leak.

 

any idea how much?

and i see i need dex6 on my 06.

and how the fuck do you get the fliud in there? isnt the top bolt on top(in trans tunnel)?

 

Through the dipstick tube and a long narrow funnel. Should take about 5-6 quarts if you replace the filter.

 

Hes got a 5 speed. when i did mine i used a funnel with a long piece of tubing and poured it in through the engine bay. mine took about 2.3 Quarts for the 5 speed.

 

Ooooo. Well in that case get a fluid syringe for like $8 and use that.

 

yeah a fluid pump would actually work better and be faster.

 

Wow...your tranny warms up in 15mins? Shit my 20 minute commute barely gets mine above 120F. To get fully warmed up mine takes about 30minutes on the highway.

 

Well there's ways to warm that shit up like in no time but i didn't wanna give out advise that can potentially damage your trans but what i do is i drive around and at stops i do a stall test and hold the gas and brake hard for 20 secs at a time, drive to cool off and redo it like 5 times. This gets the trans super hot!

 

thanks jay! i owe you a beer!

 

Yeah thatll work too but i notice my hand gets hella tired with that thing and it gets hard to pump after a while. You end up pushing the entire bottle up against the vehicle and holding the bottle to reduce hand fatigue.

This is what i use at work.

 

This is what i use at work.

i have one of those on the farm...always wondered what it was for.

 

You stick the hose into the new fluid bottle and you pull back on the piston carefully and not too hard so that you don't damage the seal. Then stick the hose into the tranny and gently push the piston in again trying not to damage the inner seal by doing it too hard.

Repeat the process until fluid starts spilling out the trans, then wait until the fluid stops running out and stick the fill plug back in.

Then when done hang the tool somewhere and let the hose drain into the atf bottle overnight.

 

izzy when you fill a manual does the truck need to be level or does the transmission need to be level?

 

dammit, now i owe izzy a beer.

 

Truck level. If you think about it, the trans will not be level most of its time since your truck will be.

I like Heff please.
