The 2007 Impala with the 3.8 engine is on a top 10 best older used cars list. Two things. The cooling elbows on the heads will Crack if they are original plastic. Dorman makes a metal replacement part, and 2) if the car ran dexcon antifreeze, the lower intake manifold could be corroded, and antifreeze and oil could mix and trash the engine.

So I did and bam that thing was perfect power n shifted like a dream! A transmission control module was $150 BEATS a $2,800 transmission It’s cuz the TCM was getting moisture from rain and the TCM was on the floorboard in between the bottom of the car and the carpet!

Hey Scotty. My wife has a 2021 Tacoma V6. We leased it about a year ago. Took it to the dealer for the free oil change. They claimed it could go 10,000 miles between oil changes. After about 13,000 miles, and a so called oil change, the engine was very ticky and rough. I decided to change the oil and filter myself and the oil was super dirty, suggesting they never changed the oil. Now I noticed the exhaust has a lot of carbon and the engine is burning through a little oil. I can tell when the oil gets low by the sound of the engine. I will be doing the oil changes myself every 5,000 miles from now on. My question is, did the dealer screw up my truck by claiming they changed the oil but in reality it looks like they never did?

[@User-q6x3b]

Man, that sounds annoying. The great news is it's a lease. As long as you have the receipt saying the oil was done, your lease agreement should be satisfied. Whether they actually performed the service is another story. Personally, if I had any questions (oil burning/odd noises) at the end of the lease, I'd hand it back over to toyota..

It shifted fine except for that noise in reverse when it got colder outside. I added a can of Sea Foam Hydra Trans. Tune to it 16 oz. $15.00 at Auto Zone, I DON'T LIKE LUCAS PRODUCTS AT ALL. The noise went away in about 5 minutes & I was very impressed, used Sea Foam products before but not Trans. Tune. Then about 2 years later went to change my Trans. fluid & man it looked DARK, REAL DARK, NO RED AT ALL. It cleaned all the varnish & junk out of my Trans. as the can said it would. Changed fluid & filter & added another can of Trans. Tune, no more noise but the Jeep's SUB FRAME IS ROTTING IT'S WAY AROUND THE DRIVE TRAIN, THE RUST BELT SUCKS IN N.E. PA.

Question - Im looking at buying a used 2008 Nissan xterra X Sport Utility 4D 4.0 V6 with automatic transmission. He is asking $7,500. Its a year with the smod radiator leaking into transmission destroying both issue. Mileage on it currently is around 97,000 miles. Seller im talking with just bought the xterra less than a year ago after his wife totaled one of their other cars so they bought the xterra to help them in their move from florida to california where they and i are now. They say they dont need the additional vehicle as they also have other. I asked if they or previous owner already replaced the radiator and / or transmission given the xterra being one of years nissan made the badly designed radiators that can leak into transmission and vise versa. He said he does not know if either were replaced, but he hasnt replaced either. But he proudly said paid the nissan mechanic dealership to do a radiator or transmission flush. Yet from what Ive read its actually recommended to not flush the transmission in these old of xterras as it can damage transmission. Full replacement of transmission fluids being the more recommended safer option. So given assuming its the original transmission and radiator, and dealership at least gave the xterra a transmission flush instead of replacement, and unknown previous maintenence and repair and issues history before he bought it last year, i am wondering if its likely its going to fail soon? Or if it can likely continue working good for many years without needintg to replace transmission and or radiator within just a few years? I test drove it briefly and didnt notice anything obviously slipping, stalling, etc. But I only drove it maybe 10 or 15 minutes and forgot to try out the additional low gear options. And if there is no leaking at this point between radiator and transmission ( and how do i know for sure ) is it safe for me to just replace radiator and do transmission and radiiator change of fluids ( not another flush )? And this will prevent transmission being damaged, and is it reasonable to expect these transmissions to then last at least another 1000,000 miles before needing replaced?

[@brenthegarty3922]

For the F150, that's likely shudder due to low and/or old ATF. I just bought a used F150 with 140k miles. It was doing that same thing, shuddering when going at highway speeds up a alight incline usually in overdrive. Likely the ATF and filter had never been changed as Ford doesn't recommend until 150k miles...stupid. Did a pan drop, drain, and fill with new filter and that shudder basically gone. And like this F150, no codes were being thrown. I'd ask that F150 owner when the last time that was done on it. Scotty didn't address that, but I'll guess not for a long time. Try that. Some Lubeguard Shudder Fixx wouldn't hurt anything either.

You can in that older F150. Mine's a 2015 and so newer than that. Probably the sane 6R80 transmission. Do a pan drop and drain and fill fluid with new and new filter and see that first. That's a few hundred bucks to have done or cheaper yourself. Then go from there. It's probably both low and dirty.

[@emilye709]

Took my car to amcco and they said my transmission needed rebuild. I hadn't noticed anything weird before they did anything to it. I was just getting a check up before driving across country. I wanted to make it without breakdown so I had the work done. After they rebuilt it, I noticed some weird things like having a hard time shifting on the freeway, hard time going up hill and started making a subtle but weird grinding noise it had never made before the repair. Took it to another amcco across the country and they said it looked weird(they banged it up alot trying to put it back together at the first amcco) but it was fine and functional. Now it is 16 months later so the warentee is over and now the car jumps when put in reverse. I think the second amcco knew something wasn't right 10 months ago but didn't want to do the work because they don't make much money off of warrentee work. It is a 97 toyota Rav4 with 150ooomi. Never had any breakdown or issue with it. I am learning to do my own work on it but I don't think transmission is a DIY job? What should I do? It's a great car but I don't want to spend another $5000 to get the transmission fixed again, the car isn't worth $10000. Runs fine for the most part but I don't want to ignore the small issues and have them turn into bigger problems.

You should have never accepted any work on it. You can check the atf levels make sure it's actually got the required fluid. After that your best bet is looking online for class action suits against the company unless you're willing to go back to the original shop that did the work. You would get another 100K out of that RAV4 though so if nothing else works try a new fluid change and then just get a remanufactured one from an experienced place

Emily Be carefull who you let work on your car . So many shops are run by dishonest mechanics and Service Reps . Try and find a good shop that other people recommend to you . Those places usually have a lot of business . And learn basic preventive maintainence like how to check your oil , brake fluid level , Coolant level , Power steering and Trans levels .
