Dear listers,
for some weeks now I experience the following when driving through sharp
corners (e.g. u-turns, not necessary fast, possibly only left turns?) with a
cold engine/car, choke approx. 3/4 drawn:
It feels/sounds as if the auto box slips/looses its gear and the engine revs
up for a short moment (about 1s) during cornering.
Is this the beginning of something unpleasant or do I just need to sth
simple as topping up the auto box oil level a little?
If the latter: I am really not capable to determine the level on the
dipstick (to my relief: accompanied by a real mechanic), in (or: for) my
eye, it's too thin and in-between nowhere and everywhere, all I can tell is
that there _is_ oil and it's red.
And what kind of oil does it need? IIRC the manual simply states ATF, but
nowadays ATF is subdivided into specs like Type A/DexronIID, Type F, Dexron
III, ... Last year I bought some Dexron IID to top up the power steering
(which did no harm to it yet), is this the right stuff for the BW35, too?
TIA,
Thorsten
