You most certainly can, however it does require a partner. Back before there were machines to do transmission flushes this is how we used to do it. Jack the vehicle up slightly depending on vehicle type. Disconnect the Transmission Fluid feed line from either the tranny cooler or the tranny itself (has to be the feed line) now with the feed line inside of a good sized bucket have a friend with a funnel ready to begin pouring new tranny fluid into the filler. Start the car and as the old tranny fluid exits the feed line in the bucket your buddy should be pouring new tranny fluid into the filler as soon as you see new tranny fluid begin to exit the feed line turn the engine off. Now doing it yourself will require a few additional quarts of trans fluid, but it is a small price to pay for saving on the labor. Good Luck!
If you wait for a transmission to have problems before you have it professionally flushed, you've waited to long. It really depends on your driving conditions but in most cases I would flush it every 50K, it will pay in the long run.
probably a good idea the gearbox is very tetchy regarding transmission fluid
Could beLow transmission fluid level,Dirty transmission fluid,Bad shift solenoid(s),Transmission mechanical problems,Transmission hydraulic control circuit.Start with checking the fluid level then a fluid flush.
How much you got? I'll take it. I hear they have this deal to flush transmissions but I prefer to take the pan off the bottom and replace the filter and scrape all the gook out of the pan. $45.00 is reasonable with a new filter. To you neophytes - changing the filter and fluid every fifty thousand miles is cheap. Replacing the transmission may cost more than another used car.
You put the truck on ramps and pull thre transmission pan off. And then you will see the filter in there. Very easy to install once you have the pan off. I have done many of them I learned from experince.
Do it yourself engine transmission flush and filter change on 2005 Chevy silverado 5.3?"
To do a transmission flush, first read the manual to your car. You will find out when you will need to do a transmission flush and how to do a flush.
Transmission flush is really good for your car. A transmission flush is a mixture of oil and transmission fluid which allows your transmission to run really smoothly.
Drain it into a toilet and flush it
would an automatic transmission car jerk when shifting after having had a transmission flush
You should not flush 1995 Honda Accord transmission fluid. Transmission fluid should be taken to the appropriate dumping site and disposed of there.
You don't flush a manual transmission. You just drain the old fluid, and refill with new.
No they are completely different. A engine flush will only clean the engine a transmission flush will only clean the transmission. These two components use two different kinds on fluid therefor they can not be mixed together.
There isn't a transmission dipstick. Auto mechanics have tools that will flush the transmission but other than that, there is no dipstick. There is a transmission pan under the truck where you can drain/flush your transmission.
You will probably never get it all out without the aid of a transmission flush machine. Any fluid left behind will destroy the transmission in a short time. I recommend not driving the vehicle! Have it towed to a garage that can perform that service and hope for the best.
ok
The transmission filter will be located inside the transmission. Their is no need to replace it if you flush it. A flush will clean everything and rinse the filter
