Hi all,
Noob question here... but I've never changed/filled my transmission fluid... nor checked it :whistling. I was looking over my car the other day and pulled out the transmission rod (car off).. checked it and it was way over the "hot" part... my car has been leaking transmission fluid for some time now... I had gathered that some douche overfilled it... after having some concerns about overfilling = really bad... I wanted to check the transmission properly.
I drove the car until it was warmed up (mid way on temp gauge) and checked the transmission and it was like not even on the rod!!
Is it normal to have such a high reading when car off? (I was thinking because the gears haven't changed and it's cold).
Now I think because of the leaking transmission fluid .... I think the seals have gone on it. Because after running the car to 50% temp gauge and barely having a reading on the dipstick.. something is seriously wrong.
Anyone know what it would cost to get the seals fixed on the transmission??
It's a 96 VS S2 Calais, V6, 215,xxxK, if that helps.
