[DML] Re: Questions on automatic transmissions

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The "bloody red stuff" (Dexron-Mercon) is SUPPOSED to go into the
transmission! In the dipstick! The final drive with the level plug on
the side gets the gear oil! If you did put gear oil in the trany you
should flush it out and replace the fluid. If it doesn't shift
correctly in most cases it is a problem with the shift computer. The
quality of the shifts is dependant on the line pressure, The timing is
controlled by the shift computer. Refer to dmcnews.com-tech section-
automatic transmission for a procedure to disassemble the filter,
clean it, and reassemble. You cannot get all of the old fluid out
unless you either have a flushing machine or you disassemble the whole
trans and drain out the torque converter. The only other way would be
to drop the pan several times after driving, you only get around 3
pints out at a time.
