4 Speed Auto Service

[=SKB=]

Anyone serviced their 4 speed auto? Any useful tips for anything out of the ordinary would be handy. Any recommendations on fluids would be good too.

remove the output line off the trans cooler grab another pipe stick it on the outlet and the other end into a container, having someone control the keys start the engine and the moment oil stops comming out of the hose, or starts to slowly come out switch the engine off, drop the sump, change the filter and fill it up again,

that way makes sure you do a complete flush out, ie torque converter and all

Thanks for the tips andyman. Will rep when I am able to. I have to spread some around apparently.

What's your thoughts on oils?

dexron 111, castrol, valvoline, penrite, they all make it,

its called type 3 now i think.... its being phased out and replaced by dexron 6 fluid as it has better cooling capabilities but its more expensive
