Hi, My question is, LETS SAY there is a STREAM coming out of the fluid check port at a good rate ...do you replace the plug SOON AS the flow begins to slow down, or should I wait for it run out as slow as it did in this video? THANK YOU
@LifeIsBetterWithLove4 ай бұрын
I think he was saying the flow he's showing is in the video is a good flow. If it's faster let it drain, but not all over your parts. Probably grab something empty to catch it all.

To get the most accurate reading, you want the car to be fully warmed up, running, in neutral, and on a level surface. Dont forget to set your parking brake so it doesn't roll over you.

@GodsChild1249 Жыл бұрын
🚨I have a question... I had seen another video before yours and the guy didn't have the engine running when he checked the fluid and removed the overfill plug. I'm not sure which is the proper way to check it, with or without the engine running. But wouldn't the transmission fluid not be level or accurate when you removed the overfill plug and the fluid drains out "while the engine is running and everything is rotating"? 🤔 What's the proper way? To get a proper reading, wouldn't you want the fluid to be "still and level" without the engine running to be accurate? 🤔

@kellybuzzelljr.3439 Жыл бұрын
To clarify both of these prior responses, which are both kinda correct: Yes there is a filter, but unlike older cars, this is a "Sealed Transmission" and in order to actually change it, you would have to literally open up the whole Trans to find it, instead of just dropping the transmission pan and swapping the filter like we all used to do 10-50+ years ago. So Yes, there is a Filter. No, it is not replaceable (well, I guess it is if you're rebuilding your transmission, but you get what I'm saying)
