No Transmission Dip Stick? Easy How To ATF Transmission Fluid Change!

[@fubarlife7776]

My dipstick disappeared today. This is the method I will use temporarily to make certain I have the correct amount of transmission fluid, then I should be able to find a dipstick that I can make work! Or at least that's my plan 🤗 Thanks

[@hardlymovingpro]

Try using a long needle nose pliers to pull the stick out. Otherwise drop the oil pan. Good luck!

Have a Ford Fusion now with no reverse..It blew the check ball right through the Valve body separator plate..Still can not find a new bonded separator plate. Called Sonex and a few others..You have to buy the whole valve body to get that plate..

Time to visit the salvage yard?

can you make a video how to change transmission oil filter

[@hardlymovingpro]

Although similar, not all cars have the same transmission filter design.

@@kurosakiichigo85 you need to open the transmission to replace the filter on these ZF transmission it's not easy. A transmission specialist need to do it.

Hardly Moving Productions. what size tubing ? thx much !

[@hardlymovingpro]

You'll have to use a dial caliper to measure the diameter of the output line connected to your ATF hose. Then go to your local auto parts store and have them cut you a 2 foot hose.

[@PARDS2]

@@hardlymovingpro Thx Much. !!!! Are most Trans cooler hoses mounted so that the input from the Trans goes in the bottom of radiator and the return to Trans comes out the top,,,,,,,,is there a reason for that,,,,,,,seems backwards,,,,,but I am kinda backwards sometimes I guess,,,,lol

[@hardlymovingpro]

Yes. Bottom up in the fluid flow. As to why? As fluid is cooled, it naturally tends to rise upward.

[@sivucit]

what do you recommmend to flush entire transmission oil just drain, fill, drive and replace 3 times. or can i use the same method like u did in this video , means put it in neutral and just keep at idle to get all oil out using return line. will it emty torque and radiator oil as well.. or that will cause transmision to be in a problem.

[@hardlymovingpro]

Depends on how dirty the oil is. If pitch black, start with a drain and fill. Wait till the next engine oil change to let the ATF detergents do its work, then check the oil color again. If dark red, you can do a flush. No transmission problems using the technique used in this video.

Hi i have a chevrolet optra when accelerating and i get to speeds of 80kms/hr and above car has a hard sturter and hold light starts to flash. When the car cools the hold disapears on its own. If i drive speeds bellow 80 car is fine qnd smooth. My temparature sensor failed so i put fans direct. Any advice?

[@hardlymovingpro]

Sorry ... don't understand.

[@leod3963]

Piston seal likes to go bad on these transmissions. You need to take your car to a transmission specialist. They need to open the transmission replace the piston seal and worn clutches. These are horrible transmissions.

[@omairsiddiqui5846]

I want to know because i have an optra its engine just looks like urs , but I don't what model i got

[@hardlymovingpro]

Optra not sold in US

[@jinpark5324]

Did you change the transmission oil filter at the same time?

[@hardlymovingpro]

Not at all.

[@omairsiddiqui5846]

Sir what model it is ??

[@hardlymovingpro]

Suzuki Forenza

[@ronaldmahoney1283]

I apologize, there is a drain plug!

[@hardlymovingpro]

There you go and thanks for sharing!

[@monoshock57]

2:48 I thought a seal had come into you garage.

[@hardlymovingpro]

Funny! It does sound like a seal doesn't it?

[@ronaldmahoney1283]

There is no drain plug on this vehicle! I have the same car!

[@hardlymovingpro]

You just haven't found it. Non standard 4 point indented plug.
