I had posted a message about my trans slipping wondering if making filter change would help.
Here is the follow-up to that message.
I change the filter this past week-end. There was a magnet in the bottom of the pan that apparently collects metal shavings. I thought that was a cool idea. The magnet was covered in sludge. I didn't see any metal pieces at all in that sludge. I cleaned the pan up and re-installed it.
Even when putting the 2.7 qts of trans fluid in it was not enough. It slipped alot after the installation when it got back on the road. After I drive it I check the fluid. Its not leaking and I had to put plenty more trans fluid in to get it filled up.
It seems to run ok after it gets warmed up. First thing in the morning it still wants to slip, particularly when going from 1st to 2nd whether in D or O.
I drove it to work today.
Anyone think it will get better as the fluid seeps into al the right places?
