hi guys,
thanks in advance for any, and all help! i've seen the posts on how to replace, and or diagnose the problem. both sides of my transmission leak at the axles. but i thought i'd wait to do the pass side until i have to remove the bevel gear. well to my question(s). after replacing my shocks/spring seats/ and strut bearings yesterday.
i took off for the coast this morning and shortly after the sun came up i started to notice spots on the rear window. well long story short, 75 miles in i started seeing smoke and pulled over. had tranny fluid every where(even exhaust hence smoke).
1) so just how sensitive is our tranny to low fluid? with engine running the bottom of the trans fluid stick is dry(was full to start the trip)!
2) what if anything, can i do to figure out the amount, if any damage has been done?
also, will using the mobile 3309 atf in our 4spd transmissions cause any harm? i did the trans flush/clean with like 13 qts of it. then realized i have the 4spd. not 5spd all i could find was that with a 5spd. you wouldn't want to go with the older stuff, but i haven't found any info on the other way around.
thanks again for any help!
p.s. where can i get a trans. seal over this weekend? im gonna try ipd right now since im in portland.
