FordBoy Posted February 16, 2007 Report Posted February 16, 2007 i dont understand it i fill it up then a week ur 2 latter the tranny starts to slip in a turn when i hit the gas as i finish the turn. about a month ago it was full now its about a qt or .5qt low?? there is no puddles anywhere. the fluid looks normal color and it doesnt smell burnt I have no idea where it is going my 1st thought was that is was burning off. but that fast? and wouldnt it show signs of burning fluid?

Psych0matt Posted February 16, 2007 Report Posted February 16, 2007 have you checked your pan? possible you have a hole, leak, or maybe even a side of the pan isnt tight or the gasket has a chunk missing. i know last winter in the blazer that happened with my oil pan. every time id turn hard left like into a parking spot you'd see a big quarter circle trail of oil where it would come out Quote
GutlessSupreme Posted February 16, 2007 Report Posted February 16, 2007 How exactly would tranny fluid burn off? has to be leaking somewhere... throw some cardboard under it and park it consistantly. Quote
FordBoy Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Posted February 16, 2007 Its not leaking i park on snow there is no red snow under my car Quote
Psych0matt Posted February 16, 2007 Report Posted February 16, 2007 what about yellow? (sorry, had to ) Quote
Regal_GS_1989 Posted February 16, 2007 Report Posted February 16, 2007 It is possible to burn off tranny fluid if the vacuum modulator is bad. Pull off the vacuum line going to the modulator, and see if there is any fluid that comes out. You could also remove the modulator itself and check to see if there is fluid that comes out. If there is, than the modulator needs to be replaced. Quote
19GT92 Posted February 16, 2007 Report Posted February 16, 2007 it has to be going some were if its not leaking from the bottom then check the mod valve i will lay money on that mod valve being the cause Quote
Addicted To Boost Posted February 16, 2007 Report Posted February 16, 2007 I think it is your trans. modulator. If that goes bad, it allows oil to be sucked up the line going from the modulator to the throttle body. The fluid gets sucked up into the TB and burned in the engine. Quote
FordBoy Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Posted February 16, 2007 I think the tranny itself is close to junk. As far as i know when manually downshifting an auto the RPMs should go up and gradually go down. Not this tranny i get a surge forward do to the clunk and quick slow down. Its hard to explain. when down shifting in OD its normal but there is something about the manuals downshift U think the mod. is bad huh what is a good est. price on one Quote
Regal_GS_1989 Posted February 16, 2007 Report Posted February 16, 2007 I think the last time i checked into one, it would have cost me around 30$. There not awful expensive and take all of maybe 5 minutes to change out. You could also put in an adjustable one that would allow you to control the firmness of the shifts Quote
Crazy K Posted February 16, 2007 Report Posted February 16, 2007 unplug the vac line to the modulator and turn it upside down. my tranny cooler inside the radiator in one of my cars bust and leaking tranny fluid into the radiator. Quote
