Seems like I've been driving my car with to little oil in my automatic transmission for a while... I have had some issues with a non working kickdown, and it didn't shiftdown in a smooth way when I hit the pedal without doing a kickdown.
Since I'm not familiar with old autotrans and only had a german users manual I couldn't understand how I should mesure the oil level on the stick.
Now I know that I shall have a really warm engine/transmission, shift stick in "P" and the motor idling for a couple of minutes. The oil-level under this conditions should be at the high mark (but not over). It took 2 liters of oil to reach this level and now it works like a charm...
Now it never misses a kickdown, nice smooth downshifts even at small throttle changes and nice accelerations, a whole new transmission. The car have never runned better...
You believe that you've got more control of the car when you're driving than you would with an Automatic gearbox.
ReplyDeleteI suppose you pointing at my poor translation...
ReplyDeleteAutomatic transmission should be the correct term but a direct translation from swedish would be automatic gearbox... Was maby a little to fast when I wrote it.
