Time for an Auto box service possibly??
« on: 09 April 2011, 22:08:17 »
I think I know the answer to this before I ask but I'd value you guys opinions.
My 2.6 auto is how do I put it gettin a bit lazy in changing up through the gears. 1st to 2nd ok, 2nd to 3rd is like errrrrrrrrmmmmmmm go on then......(hangs for a little bit).......yep then changes up. Sometimes when normal everyday driving 2nd to 3rd will only happen if I accelerate over 3500rpm, other days its as smooth as. 3rd to 4th can sometimes be the same too, its like being in sports mode sometimes. I notice it more from a cold start, have looked underneath but can't see any leaks. I do live on a slight incline but I don't think that would affect matters??? At 52k on a 2002 plate.
I'm goin down the lines of either low ATF possibly or time for a g/box service - new filter & new ATF????

I assume you're not getting any fault codes?

Certainly a filter and ATF change is a good starting point in solving gearbox issues!  :y

No, no fault codes as of yet, gonna start with a filter & new ATF I think.

You can only change about 1/2 the ATF by dropping both sumps .. the rest is inaccessible .. :( but even that makes a difference  :)

2nd to 3rd solenoid is often mentioned on here, might be with swapping that solenoid for a new one while the sumps are off?

Can you remove more than half if you use a Pela suction oil extractor pump?  :-/

Nope .. the remaining ATF is inside the internal workings, the Torque Converter and the cooler pipes.
