In this video I remove and inspect the transmission pan, change the fluid, and check the transmission fluid temperature. This information applies to most veh…

I use that Walmart fluid for about 26,000 miles in my Trailblazer and
notice it took a little to long to shift from 1st to 2nd. Went to castro
trans fluid and my shift was quicker to 2nd. Until this happen, I thought
trans fluid was not to important.
The fluid is not the problem. When you don’t change the filter. The pump
can’t bill enough pressure to apply clutches and they burn up.
It is never to late to change fluid and filter if the car still drive. I
got a 02 venture with 169,000 miles. This trans stop shifting, so the guy
sold it to me for $400. I change the fluid and filter and been driving it 7
months. It does need rebuilding but 7 months is damn good bad trans.
It don’t but people who don’t know how an auto trans work think so.
I also got a P0174 torque converter clutch performance issue and or stuck
closed solenoid on a 70K transmission what causes this ? btw its a 2005 kia
sedona
Correnction its codeP0714
I agree with the engine oil part, however. Changing dirty/old/degraded
engine oil is always a good thing. In severe cases it can cause sludge to
break loose and clog oil passages, etc, but if changed multiple times in
short succession it can prevent a bricked engine even in a severely
neglected vehicle.
Kinda sounds like I got the same issue as you do but my fluid is black.
Man you are heaven sent….. thx bro, I think I’m going to tackle this
myself.
How does changing fluid fail a transmission I thought its like changing
dirty oil that its a good thing?
Okay well im still trying to find out wtf is going on with the engine light
code and then ill see in getting fluid changed every few miles and then
maybe in another 5-10k
I’m not familiar with Kias or Hyundais so I cannot comment on a P0174 code
on those vehicles without more research. I wish you luck!
I forgot to mention this in the video: In this vehicle the transmission
fluid level is checked with the engine running, in park. That’s rather
important. Oops.
yeowtch! If it’s black it’s too late! You need a new transmission. You can
try changing the fluid but if you do you’ll probably end up with a failed
transmission. If you can I’d trade it off ASAP.
Changing the fluid in a transmission that has been neglected will often
cause failure. The detergents in the new fluid can dissolve varnish and
knock deposits loose, and the different (now proper) viscosity can cause
behavior changes that aren’t necessarily good for a transmission that is
used to operating improperly. In my mind you have 2 options: Get rid of it
now while it still works, or change the fluid and hope for the best but
budget to buy a new transmission.
