Well, my trans. has been leaking and it's gotten worse.
So it's going to be time to take it to the shop to have the seal between the trans. and the t-case replaced.

So, I am thinking I might as well have some other trans. maintenance done.

So far I have:
Drain and refill t-case (obviously)
Drain, change filter, adjust bands on trans.
Replace/clean trans. cooler check valve (I know, I know)

Anything else?


Also, how much ATF will I need?
I am going to see if I can bring my own fluid, that way I KNOW I have the right stuff in there.

Thanks for any input.

 

I found this in the DIY section at the top of the page.

trans fluid and filter change on my 01 takes 6-7 quarts, including extra cooler and filter.
t-case takes 1 quart.

i would remove the check valve or drill it out.

 

So basically an "Initial Fill", would be a trans. service?
So I am looking at 5 quarts total?

What will happen when I take the check valve out?
I know trans. fluid will come out the cooler line, but do I have to do anything special? Or can I just drill it out like you said?

Does it increase fluid flow any? I know if it's clogged it will.

Thanks guys!

 

You need to remove the hose completely to drill out. So you need the line disconnect tool.

 

^Guess that'll wait will next summer when I might have time.
lol
Thanks, zman.

 

The tool is like 5 bucks and it shouldn't take more than a half hour.

 

^Oh, I would figure out some way to make it 2 hours.
I always do.
lol

 

Lol,

 

Hey, I got a tune up out of it one time!
