Re: [FWDLK] More Transmission questions..



Thanks to everyone who replied to my Transmission query. I will check the suggested causes the next time I pull the car out of the garage (which will hopefully also be when I do the disc brake conversion).

I did check the fluid level and it definitely needs me to add a little. I bought a quart of transmission fluid (don't remember what), but I do remember quite a few discussions on the list here regarding which type of transmission fluid to use...from what I could gather of past Transmission fluid discussions, the general consensus seems to be there IS NO consensus...basically, as long as I'm putting transmission fluid in the transmission, I'll probably be ok. I really don't want to start another un-needed tranny fluid discussion, but I guess if its a topic that people enjoy (or at least one that gets a lot of responses), I guess why not.

Dexron and Type F (or FA) seem to be the two most commonly mentioned types with a little bit of dissension amongst the ranks in regard to Dexron. So, I'm guessing if I stick with some form of transmission fluid, I should be ok. I guess another question is this. Is it a problem to add Dexron transmission fluid to a transmission that already has Type F in it (or vice versa)? I have no idea what transmission fluid is currently in my car.

I will be sure to add transmission fluid though...
