ericem Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Just wondering my tranny doesn't seem like it is grabbing initially . Planning a tranny swap but was wondering. I put like 5L of tranny fluid last time I did a oil change. Actually maybe more. Is that to much? I couldn't remember even checking the dipstick now that I think about it. What do you guys think? Its a 94 legacy turbo btw. Thanks! Kind of wanted to save the tranny if I could and just replace the rear housing and clutches since it would be alot cheaper then replacing the whole tranny, but what has to be done has to be done!

Danbob99 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Check the fluid level. How much you needed to put in can vary on how much got drained out. A normal drain and fill takes about 3.9 quarts. Your 5 liters (about 5.3 quarts) is quite a bit of fluid. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you need to drain a little more than a quart to reduce over fill. Check AT level with engine running, trany in Park, engine warmed up to operating temp, and car on level pavement.

ericem Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 Tomorrow ill work on it! I will probably drain the oil bought a 4L jub of tranny fluid. Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericem Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 Changed the fluid! Tranny is definitely quiet again and has nice shifts. Yet if I floor it rolling at above 60 km/h will rev to almost 6k then start to grab. Sometimes won't do it. Regardless will drive for a week. If problems are still there going to swap the whole tranny with a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericem Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 Well I tracked the car with the tranny overfilled lol. Beat the crap out of it. Regardless the AWD doesn't work on this tranny and it seems I would be better off using the whole tranny then swapping parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
