SrMichi Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 yesterday i got to therapy a bit early so i decided to check my transmission level. i park in a nice flat place and proceeded to go Thur all the gears waited a few mins and check my level and i notice some bubbles in the dip stick. the fluid was nice and red and seemed that it was in the proper level does anyone know what could cause this?

88red4cyl Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 A lot of bubbles or just a few? I think having a few is normal, but if its overfull, then it can cause bubbles too IIRC... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SrMichi Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 just a few. on sunday i notice one of the trans hose was leaking. so i added some maybe i added too much? maybe i should take some out? whats best to have too much or too little?

ns87 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 When I had a lot, it was because my filter wasn't install properly. It went away once I did that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SrMichi Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 i changed the filter sometime in september i think. also added a trans cooler. sometimes in cold mornings the car wont shift into drive i have to get it warmed up a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Mine used to do that. Come out of school and put it in drive and would get nothing. Then it would take a few minutes for it to warm up. I was young and dumb, I added almost a whole bottle of that Lucas Slip-Fix fluid and my trans was picture perfect for the next 60k miles(that I owned it at least) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SrMichi Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 i just took some fluid out and checked it again and it still marked between the range area. i took it out for a spin and it was shifting a lot faster and it seemed like it had more power. do you guys think it had too much fluid? if it did do you think this affects my mileage Ive been getting really crappy mpg under 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 That probably could've been part of it. I'm not sure if it would've affected your gas mileage though. Have you done a tune up or anything on it lately? Btw...I keep staring at your sig because my car looked exactly like that at one point(except I had a black Z34 grille) but I didn't add foglights until a lot later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it has anything to do with your mpgs though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
