Gang, I've driven manual xmissions cars all my life. Well I just bought my wife a new car with a automatic xmission. I also just got a call from a college friend asking about changing the xmission fl

I've done that with my old Volvo. Disconnect the line and run it into a bucket. Crank the car and let it run...when the fluid slows down, shut it off and pour more in. Repeat a couple of times. 20% N

Howdy, ... I take it to a shop that has one of those machines. Off hand I don't remember the cost. I believe that those machines just automate the manual process you describe though. Basically they o

FWIW... I don't do automatic transmissions, so I was very lucky to find a scrupulously honest and incredibly knowledgeable transmission shop owner 20 years ago. He now has 28 bays, an equal amount of

On the subject of auto transmissions... Years ago, I rebuilt the auto trans in my old Blazer. It wasn't difficult at all (easier than taking apart an engine). Basically take apart the trans, and put

I've always wondered why manufacturers don't put drain plugs in transmission pans. But then now a lot of transmissions are sealed units and you can't even add fluid to them. My father has owned his o

I've heard several justifications for that; the one that seems most likely to me is that changing transmission fluid is a rare enough occurrence that it isn't worth the extra cost and complexity of

I just changed the trans fluid on my 2008 Honda CRV. IT has a drain plug, which I found great, but I also found out that it did NOT have a trans filter, which I find a bit disturbing. I didn't drop t

I agree that inspecting the pan is a good thing, but it's a step skipped by many of the less-ethical shops that use flushing machines. If they don't drop the pan, they can't change the filter either.

Having a drain on the pan doesn't mean that you shouldn't drop the pan (change the filter, clean, etc.) Just that you can drain the fluid first, instead of unbolting the pan and prying it off and hav

You drill the hole in the pan where you're going to weld the boss for the plug, then after it's drained you drop the pan and weld on the boss for the plug... John.
