Automatic Transmission Fluid Levels: Tech Tip Tuesday

[@grahamerosewarne6656]

Tech Tip Tuesday is always so informative and interesting content. Thanks Doug 😀👏🔥👍🙏💯

[@gwbuilder5779]

Excellent tip Doug.👌 I will add that the same applies to the differentials. Most people think that the vent line is just for keeping water out, but if you put a catch can with a return, you can be sure the differentials have the proper levels as well.🤙

[@Knackersjewels]

That's a great idea, I've actually been having issues with a diff puking out the breather, even at the correct level. Time to get me an overflow bottle

[@jimmesser5821]

Good stuff!!!!!!! Keep them coming!!!!!

[@jamesaikens]

Nice work! I'd like to see a tech video on adding a 1BAR to my crankcase. Where to tap for it, and what would the readings mean in the logs. A good follow-up to that would be coolant pressure (where to place the sensor), and then a backpressure sensor and how to decode that data in your logs.

i love that doug and everyone @ motion likes to see nt only customers but other racers do good. just another reason I buy boxes of stuff with the dum dums in the box!

[@TheLastTater]

Great info! Thanks for the support!

[@JohnRoberts71]

Great content thanks for sharing, very informative

[@youknow-kp6zd]

U guys make me won't to get bk into car's again I had the badass rides uz to race the mountain in NZ lol

[@invertedpolarity6890]

I don’t race my car but I performed a trans fluid flush on my 2017 Camaro SS. I believed that a dealership flush was done but was unsure. Glad I did it myself as the level was 2 quarts low which would happen if you don’t check the fluid level properly.

[@Uglyducklyracing]

Any videos of how and where is best to install like how it is put into the system example trans lines or vent tube only ?

[@bloodsweatandhorsepower2079]

You guys should definitely do a tech tip Tuesday on the monocord

[@curtjobity8360]

Great content bro very informative thanks

[@chief3378]

can we get a update on the Nova please

[@1999evo1]

Please ......

[@lewisdeclouette6342]

Good looking out preciate it

[@richardcoleman9645]

So is there a video how and where to install this please?

[@rickwatters7849]

Your presentations are getting much better. You may want to consider not saying “ To tell you the truth” I have already assumed you are telling me the truth. Maybe say “what I have found is....” or “ our experiences have shown us”. You may also use a dry erase board to illustrate your verb length examples.

[@NickelWhiteS550]

That’s why I left my pan off after I installed my lock in dip stick to check where the true full mark is on my th400.

[@dunepunk78]

Stubby LS oil dipsticks! Let’s make one ☝🏻

[@WendySaysSo]

Any Nova updates ?

[@RobertSiwik1968]

So is there a way to calibrate a dipstick,and how do you know how much to overfill the trans?

[@claymore440]

So what does he say about using what method to insure your transmission is at the correct level? Stock dipstick?

[@kylethomas394]

Have you done one about choosing the correct rear gear ? I’ve been asking around to see what i need and so far have gotten 3 different answers from 3 different people ,

[@Knackersjewels]

That comes down to personal preference

[@30YearOldBunta]

What kind of force would cause the pan to get sloshed like that because I'm doing 2.04 60fts in my big daily driver and I'm having shifting issues but seemingly only at the track, street pulls fine if I roll into it. I might try something like this before I tear apart the transmission.

[@CARRIERGUY]

Awesome!

[@skylinejunky2200]

thanks big time fam

[@joecameron3406]

How about in line transmission filters

[@courtneychappell8801]

America 🇺🇸

[@irvingbar4569]

Im having that problem when I get on it it pukes from the breather can it be a bad converter 5.3 ls to a built th400 2500 stall happens when I hit 80 mph

[@irvingbar4569]

I did over fill the transmission but you would think it would puke the extra fluid until its happy I hope this overflow can helps

[@rossgebert-goldsmith183]

Prime those converters good

[@ClarksAutoAndPerformance]

Do you plan on making a lid without a weep hole? Run the top fitting to the coolant catch can.

[@JBarnes917]

Why would you want to run it to the coolant catch can?

[@JBarnes917]

@@motoweenies4431 then you have the chance of trans fluid in your coolant or coolant in your trans fluid… both sound stupid

[@JBarnes917]

@@motoweenies4431 no let’s say you pop a head gasket, it pressurizes the cooling system and that pushes coolant now back to the trans. You had something simple that just took out your $10,000 trans.

[@jamieschnowske4981]

I was always told that overfilling a trans can cause the fluid to foam and damage a trans

[@barryacromp6775]

Trans fluid has anti foaming properties factored in its ingredient formula overfilling normally causes weeping from the vent hence the need for a catch can.
