automatic transmission overhaul?

**viepink** · January 2nd, 2008 09:46 PM

ah ganun pala un.. cguro try ko muna palitan ng ATF. pano ba malalaman kung may problema na ang matic tranny? ung sakin kc di naman kalakasan yung jerk, saka sobrang bihira lang sya mag-jerk. may time din na medyo delayed sya mag-shift. d ko kasi alam kung napa-change ATF ng may-ari kaya cguro pa-change ATF ko muna.
thanks sa lahat ng mga nag-reply! happy new year sa inyo guys!

saka baka meron kayong recommended na shop na mapagkakatiwalaan tlga. mga bandang ortigas or cainta. saka tanong ko lang, ano2 ba procedures ng change ATF? ano2 parts ang papalitan? para malaman ko kung tama ung pag gawa nya at hindi bara bara. Nakakadala kasi lagi nalang akong naloloko, porket wala akong alam. meron kc sasabihin ganito gagawin pero hindi naman pala un ang ginawa or hindi nman pala un ang gagawin.. ang masakit pa dun ang laki ng sisingilin sayo..

dito lang tlga sa tsikot ako nakakakuha ng ideas and advices kaya thank u sa lahat ng nag-reply! happy new year guys!

may drain plug din ang a/t tranny, it's like changing oil you have to drain it. may two measurement levels ang atf measuring stick: one is cold and the other one is hot. yung cold level is measured when the engine is stopped for quite sometime so the atf is settled on the bottom. then run it for about 10-15 minutes and see the hot level.
what you have to check sa a/t:
1. burnt smell and color of atf
2. look for metal particles sa drained atf
3. check the temperature if rising abnormally. defective a/t transmission emits extreme heat if nagmetal to metal na.
4. of course ayaw ng humila

Automatic transmission torque converters must also be drained properly, they have their own drain aside from the transmission pan. It's important that this be drained so that the transmission will receive fresh ATF completely.

most torque converters do not have drain plugs na now... kaya you need either an atf exchanger or you need to pull down the tranny if you really wanna replace all the atf.
