Gday all,
Servicing the Missus VZ Adventra and whilst changing trans fluid filter this is what was revealed
Black trans fluid and **** loads of metal filings. The magnet in the sump was caked and the filter absolutely clogged.
My question is;
Is this normal? The car has done 260k and the filler plug still had the factory sticker covering it. I know it's been for all log book services so probably been ripped off at some point. It has been doing some wierd shifting lately hence why I thought I'd have a look.
Will the box be on its way out or just being starved of good fluid?
Cheers
Burty
