I drained the wix filter and replaced I also drained the pan then I added 4qts of atf and ran it thru all the gears ...but it didn't even try to move ..and when I pulled the dipstick today it was still all the way up the tube as when I filled it it didn't go down at all ..what do I look into next
Thanks in advance
which side of the car are you filling the tube on?
The ATF fill is on the driver side near starter
The Gear box Oil fill is on the passenger right side above the cat.
you are filling the wrong one, and now will need to drain the gear ox oil, and get only gear oil in there since you have mixed in ATF now it is no good. you will be lucky if you didn't burn the ATF pump up without any fluid in there except what remained in the torque Converter
Far from the first... just dump out the diff. Drain plug low on the right side IIRC. Some need a Torx T70 wrench but I think yours is old enough that it's something more ordinary.
so the fluid is out but it seems only the atf came out? Or is it just one solid mixture? I drove around the block ...just cause ...but as soon as I pulled the plug it drained .no bubbles ,a slight whizzing sound ...I don't want to put the new gear oil in if the old is not out..also for those who want to see the diff vs atf sticks here goes.this is the passenger side diff stick this is the atf stick on the driver side . it is thoroughly hidden beneath tubes and wires and a b^€¥° to pull out I stuck a Co² cartridge thru the hole and used for leverage.. Still a b!+¢h
