Signs of wrong atf?

**romtrt** · December 19th, 2006 03:31 PM

Mga Ser ano ba sign na wrong ang atf na ginamit? May magbabago ba sa takbo? What about sa physical appearance how will you know if its the wrong one? And normal ba pag nag check ng atf while engine running may bubbles sa dipstick but engine off wala namn bubbles. Thanks!

depende if automatic trans it needs engine running while checking the fluid but in manual trans theres no need the engine to run,at sabi mo may bubbles ang dipstick,it sounds like the fluid is contaminated with water.

95 Galant Sir. 1 week palang ako nagpa change ng atf so no water contamination. I used dextron3 rating na atf yung redline high temp. Based kasi sa car manual for 7g from 1 link sa internet use Diamond SPII or equivalent. Ano equivalent nito? Safe na ba ko sa dextron 3? Thanks again!

if its not contaminated then youre using the wrong type of fluid,,it will foam excessively and leave through the vent,kaya better change the fluid right away,.

Another sign is that medyo rough ang shifting. Yung 7g Galant kasi prone sa transimission breakage yan eh.

Sa mga U.S. Monteros (which shared the engine and transmission with the Galant), nagkakanda-leche-leche yung transmission if you did not use Diamond ATF. At least that's what I read from their forums sa 4x4wire. Madami din kasi nagka-problem. Only difference is, DIY lang sa kanila ang pag-overhaul ng transmission unlike sa atin na sa shop pa ginagawa at malaking $$$ ang gastos.
