depending how old the tranny and how well it has been maintained...yes. If this is your scheduled fluid and filter change 100,000 miles or less then absolutely. If you are just topping off levels go ahaed. However, if you are reinstating a used tranny and are putting new fluid into it, PAying great attention to the surface outlining seals and the seals will greatly improve your odds, od tranny fluid does get debris in it that does not get caught by the filter so if you were to put used tranny fluid in with new, make sure it is free of debris.
the trans fluid on a auto trans goes through a tube in the radiator to cool the fluid if the tube has holes in it, it will leak trans fluid in to radiator. you need to replace radiator or have rebuilt.or you could put on a aux trans cooler and put plugs where the trans lines used to go.
Be very careful NOT to put trans fluid in an engine ! - It goes down the tube that holds trans dipstick, into the transmission.
Put trans. fluid in through the dipstick hole, be careful not to overfill
You will have to take the transmission pan off and change the filter inside. Make sure you remove the old gasket as well and put a good new one on. Use silicon sealer. Ultra Blue is good. Top with new trans fluid till it shows level on trans dipstick (while engine is running)
It will contaminate the trans fluid and very likely gum things up. I would drain and fill entirely with new fluid.
You add fluid the same place you check the fluid level.
The exact same place you check the fluid level.
You have to fill the trans fluid through the dipstick tube.
Assuming you have fluid at right level and the bands have not run dry, try adjusting bands. If still not working recon.transmissions are cheap enough
show me were to put tranmisson fluid in a 1998 cadillac catera any tool needed
just use automatic trans fluid. I think its dextron III. It's the same trans fluid that you'd put in a 04 Xterra trans. --dealership technician
If you mean trans fluid, you pour it in the trans dipstick hole.
