Hi my VS is a1995 exec,battery light comes on sometimes when headlights are on,also auto seems to slip a little when going around corners but seems ok all other times,fluid seems at right level when hot,fluid has air bubbles in it when hot but not when cold,fluid is clean.any ideas? cheers ps how do i replace the voltage regulator in alternator?
Battery light is probably worn brushes - you can buy a brush and regulator set for about $50 and they are held in by 2 screws at the back of the alternator. Disconnect battery first!!.
What fluid are you talking about - coolant, trans fluid, power steering fluid?

Thanks HAKO,Sorry should have been clearer ,I ment to say 'TRANS FLUID' has air bubbles in it when hot but not when cold,fluid is clean.Cheers
Does the trans fluid smell burnt? When was the box last serviced?
If the fluid does smell burnt as Hangman asks, then you could do a service yourself - $32 for fluid and $18 for gasket and filter. As it is also slipping I'd add a can of "Stop Slip" although the bubbles can also be caused by an incorrectly installed filter that allows the oil pimp in the trans to suck air......also could be wrong fluid etc etc. Easiest to just change the fluid and filter and see if OK...if still slips add a can of Stop Slip...if still slipping then it may be time for a new trans.
In the "How-to" section of this forum you'll find instructions on changing the fluid. Good Luck.
