A few questions for you sir, 1. Did you have the car running at all for this process? 2. Does this process also work for a 93 940 Volvo?( mine also has a drain plug) 3. Should I just let it sit there and drain for a hour or 2 then put 8 full qaurts in?
@jonrasu Жыл бұрын
Hi there. 1. Not during the change, only after it was closed up to check the levels. 2. I don’t remember if you have the same transmission as I do, I’d check around a bit more. However, the general process will be very similar. 3. Drain should only take a couple of minutes. Measure what comes out, replace with equal volume, start the car and check levels. Fill as needed. Hope this helps!

Hey buddy. Thanks for the video. I have these shocks in my "cart" but I don't want to pull the trigger until I consult with you. Are these made in Germany and, what do YOU think of the quality. I see another commenter seems to think they are less than acceptable. You now have some experience on them and I'd like to know. KYBs are another option if these are not suitable. Thank you so much!!!
@jonrasu Жыл бұрын
Hi there! I don’t know where they are made, unfortunately. As far as quality… I’m sorry to say I don’t have anything to compare them to except the original busted shocks. My experience: they made a world of difference (though I suppose any shocks would have done the same in my case). I would recommend them as a fine budget item. If you’re looking for best quality I’d go with the HD’s, spend a bit more money. But if you’re looking to budget replace OE shocks, these were fine for me! Hope this helps!

Whenever I buy a used car with an automatic transmission, the first thing I do is to drain ALL of the fluid, dropping the sump pan and replacing the filter. This allows me to inspect for any particles in the pan and the condition of the filter. Then I clean everything up, replace the filter, pan gasket and all of the ATF (AW70 takes 8 quarts). Then, at 30K mile intervals, I only do drain-and-refill (4 quarts) with a premium synthetic ATF of the correct spec. This keeps the ATF in the transmission relatively new. I've found that if you don't abuse the transmission and drain-and-refill the fluid at least at 30K mile intervals, you will never need to replace the filter for at least 100K miles or more. NEVER FLUSH THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM!
@Jacksongamma3 ай бұрын
Wouldn’t dropping the pan only lose the 4 quarts too? Just like the drain and fill process? My fluid looks pretty bad and I want to swap it out, but from research I see the drain plug only takes out 1/3 of the fluid, which is why I’m thinking of doing a flush. The fluid doesn’t look great so I don’t know about a flush either.. they say the torque converter and lines hold most of the other fluid. What do you think?
@boomerguy99353 ай бұрын
@@Jacksongamma Several car manufacturers recommend doing a drain and refill, followed by a short driver and repeat at least one more time. This would probably be good if you know the car's maintenance history. Otherwise, my maintenance service technician and friend of over 30 years has recommended a drain and refill at 30K mile intervals of normal driving with full quality full synthetic fluid recommended for your transmission. This is what I've done with no transmission problems at all. Also, when changed regularly, the ATF filter does not have to be changed. Never, ever do a complete flush! Several mechanics have told me this.

Conventional wisdom says that fluids really should not be mixed if you're planning to run those fluids for their maximum life duration. That being said, these engines are really solid, and I would guess that you could totally get by for a few weeks with mixed fluid if need be. I just used the Valvoline max life. You can do a few google searches to learn about these fluid grades and which is best to use for your engine.

A K cam (same as KG Trimning KG004) should give about 10bhp. I'm about to do that on my M cam B200F. From what I read, the airflow through the exhaust ports is lower (even with a 531 head) and 12mm valve lift (which the K cam has) is optimal. I have a dog dish flywheel so there is not much point chasing much more than 6000rpm. If I can get peak torque at 4200-4500rpm, that will be fine. The smaller engine will make the cam slightly hotter than if installed in a B230 anyway so no point going too far. In the end I went for a V cam. Best torque around 3800rpm.
