Instead of dropping the pan, I disconnect the cooling hose to the
radiator and pump out 3-4 quarts of dirty fluid. This has worked fine
on all my cars. Now, with a car I just bought, no fluid is pumping
out to the radiator. I did drop the pan and change the filter. The
fluid was a very dark brown. Shifts in all gears, but car doesn't
move under 1,500 RPM.
Has anyone had any experience working on/fixing transmissions who
might offer suggestions? Thanks!
