All - automatic transmissions 18 Jan 2017 (Forum)
Iv been driving automatics for decades so had my share of problems but learned early that the fuid does not last for ever ,a lot of people seem to think it does , As far back as the 60s a service did not include changing the fluid and these days its still not part of the service as units are either sealed for life or as the manufactures say, or in the case of renault when it breaks and we fit another unit it will have fresh fluid , Transmission fluid should be changed at or before 30,000 miles ,yes your going to say but its fully synthetic and there is no mention in the hand book about that ,point is if you change the fluid or better still flush it you get most of the muck out that blocks up the valve body and the screen filter inside , the majority of todays automatics dont have dip sticks they have level tubes up inside the drain plug that have to be taken out just to drain them ,and you need to drain them from hot put the level tube back in and then find the fill plug and with the engine running in neutral and at appx 60 deg pour the fluid in untill the fluid starts to run out of the drain / level hole , thats if you dont have to take the pan off ,some dont have drain plugs ,its messy and you do have to know what you are doing but if you dont know what your doing get the dealers to do it for you your transmission will last a lot longer ! -
