Hi guys im just wondering if it is worth rebuilding my transmission soon because im on about 191000 kms. If so what is involved and how much is it. The auto is not slipping as yet.
In summer i will be towing a speed boat a lot on weekends. I have installed a transmission cooler aswell. Do they heap out heaps?
With autos are they under more strain when putting your foot all the way down or do they heat up more when changing gears with normal traffic driving. Example on a highway it will be staying in 3rd or 4th gear but going through towns it will be stop start a little bit until u get through the local towns.
Is it better to tow slowly and only put half the peddle down until you get speed up? or will the weight still put a lot of strain on the transmission? Or will all the strain be on the engine itself?
Thanks heaps for the advice as i dont want to blow a transmission :>
