      We need to have mechanics stream their services or upload them to youtube.. If they arent doing it right, we can easily figure that out and go somewhere else. Right now its "hey can you do it this way because its the right way?" and they dont do it right.

      I’m gonna be honest; I’ve worked with and for a pretty decent number of mechanics and at least the ones I’ve worked around absolutely do not care enough or have the time to lie to you or sell you things you don’t need. They just want the money it’ll take to pay themselves without you coming back with a problem because then they have to fix it again, usually for free

As Dcc357 said, you replace the filter and pan gasket. When draining out the fluid, i got 4.9x liters out of my transmission when there should be 5L in there. That extra 50ml or less of old fluid won't damage anything. That's why these Benz's will outlast any car as long as the preventative maintenance is done.

Without my knowledge my mechanic change the transmission fluid because it was a dirty and I had a feeling my uncle never did that. Needless to say, it started slipping and hesitating terribly within a year (I dont drive very much luckily). I put the Lucas fluid in and ever since it's been shifting like a dream. Best stuff ever!

    I flushed transmission fluid on my 03 Grand Marquis with 175k miles, but manually not by a flush machine. First, dropped the pan and removed 5 quarts. Then I removed the cooler line that is going back to the transmission from radiator and started the car. Fluid started to flow out of the line and as soon as very less fluid started to come out, I turned off the car. The car takes 14 quarts of Mercon V, but the car took only 12 quarts and it was full. I performed this back in 2017 and since then the transmission shifts like a dream. So lags, no jerks nothing. Smooth shifting like new. The car now has 220k miles. So from my experience, manual flushing of the transmission worked out well.
    I never changed the fluid before 175k miles. It was the one and the only time I did because my torque converter had the common shudder issue. After the flush, I also added Dr tranny instant shudder fix additive as well. I did try Dr tranny before flushing as well but it work more than 4 months.

      Great video. I need help with my 3007 Camry. We had a rebuilt transmission put in with a year warranty the year almost up and it's been haven't slippery problems. And sometimes when I stopped up to pass someone. It feels like a double shift. I took my it back to the dealer 4 tone it did it the first 3 times. The the manager wanted to drive out with his scan tool plugged in. Wouldn't you know it. It didn't do it. He sent the data to to uhh ota anyway and told Toyota about thteansmission acting up. Toyota said we have to catch it on a scan tool to see what's wrong. What should I do. The transmission only 2 months left on warranty. 1 year is a sucky warrenty FF or Toyota to give to customers for a rebuilt one from Toyota directly. What should I do? What would you do?

    3 reasons for slipping:
    1. Worn clutches or bands. Mechanical failure.
    2. Passage in valve body clogged with sludge. This is where new fluid can help.
    3. Valve body bolts loose. Causing internal leaking from one passage to another causing lower pressure. This is the defect that thickeners can help.

  • @DannyB-cs9vx
    @DannyB-cs9vx Před 2 lety +11

    If you do it regularly is the key, (change fluid). If you let dirt get stuck somewhere, it is best to leave it where it is. Your transmission life will be shorter than had you changed fluid often, but sending the dirt elsewhere can cause immediate failure.

    He's spot on. As a life long operator of high mileage automobiles this is the closest explaination of reality I have seen. Older transmissions are hit or miss and flushing can be just a gamble. Mostly as a last resort when you think your gonna need a new transmission. The best thing you can ever do is keep it from slipping at all cost. Don't be the asshat that pushes a slipping transmission with a heavier foot. It never pans out. Long drawn out soft shifts are transmission suicides and abnormal high rpm s with little change in a actual movement create heat and wear clutches. Best choice, stop immediately , top fluid and keep it that way.

    • @Crabchann
      @Crabchann Před rokem +5

      So I replaced my rad and I didn’t know the fluid got cooled down in the radiator. I ran the engine without the rad and everything flushed out. Black fluid came out , a LOT of it did. I started filling it with 1 quart, high rpm. I then put another quart, again, high rpm. I put in 4 quarts total by this point, it got a lot better, but still, high rpm. I finally put a total of 8 quarts and now the car accelerates well but now the sound the transmission makes when it revs is completely different but I get power from it.

    I picked up an 4l60e Chevy 1500 4wd 03 z71 a couple years ago. It felt like it was slipping so I added some Lucas, I never took fluid out. Might have added another half of one.
    Anyways, so driving around town it's slipping but not bad and I'm not pushing it.
    Recently I picked up a camper to travel for my job. It definitely took a minute of slipping to from 20-30 mph while towing it. So I needed to break it or make it better.
    I originally started with the removing some fluid via a small hose and pump. Then I hooked up a hose to the cooling return line and took five goes of running the engine and re adding oil before dropped the transmission pan, or at least got it snugged up against the exhaust enough to get a new filter on, no new gasket. Didn't clean the magnet or whipped too much of the inside of the pan down.
    It seemingly drives slightly better but still has a mean slip while hauling that travel trailer.
    Now I'm looking into the pressure line, after I confirm the oil level is in range One last thing to 🔧 before a rebuild by a pro next week.
    Not only is the price of gas doubled but hotels six months ago wanted $65 a night. Last week the same hotel wanted $110. The per diem for traveling construction workers hasn't moved much and journeyman are walking off job sites because the hotel increase alone is $7k a year out of your pocket after eating up all that $20k a year per diem.
    So I got travel trailer camper. Might be a good series for traveling construction workers looking to haul a camper.

    I was always told when it comes to transmissions, only do a drain and refill (or partial drain and refill) --- never flush transmissions, especially ones that either have not had the fluid changed or it's really dirty. It's one of those things you either do it regularlly at 60-90k or you just leave it alone and hope for the best. I've seen a few cars where people even just drained fluid that had never been drained on cars with 150k on them and they never ran right again (they ran OK before the fluid change though) and they ended up junking them a year or two later... On my last few vehicles, it was done every 60k.

      If it's a standard automatic transmission I would probably just leave it alone if it's never been touched for 120K. If it's a CVT I'd consider changing it because those fluids are much more sensitive and must be changed regularly from what I've been told. My wife had a CVT on her Nissan Rogue. We changed the fluid every 40K and it still crapped out at 120K miles.

    I should have listened to videos like this. I purchased a used rx330 '04, seemed like transmission fluid wasn't changed in about 100k miles. It had 160k miles on it. I found a mechanic who was a Japanese car expert. He told me it's safe. Said he's done it many times. Prior to the flush (non-powered/ non pressurized) flush, the car shifted so smoothly and beautifully. After the flush, it takes longer to get into 4th gear with a lag. It runs fine after a few months but I will hate myself if the transmission breaks within the next year or so.
