Dexron 6 replaces Dexron 3, use it. It's much better than the 3 and is backwards compatible with the 3. Look up GM approved manufactures of Dexron 6, will give you all approved brands and private labeled brands. I use Coastal Dex 6 as its cheaper than name brand and an approved private labeled brand.

I'm told and read a sun shell may be broke. Common problem for this vehicle. Shop will possibly rebuild and use aftermarket kit parts to correct problems the transmission had originally. Cost is probably between $1300 to 1600 to repair. Good luck I got the same problem on a 97 Jimmy and 3 shops said the same thing.

SOURCE: How do I replace the starter

the starter will be at the rear of the engine. Disconnect all of the cables, remove the 3 or 4 bolts that hold it in. Pull it straight out of the engine. Install the new starter. Starters are fairly straightforward, but sometimes awkward to reach.

Automatic takes Dextron/mercon III If you want to get "fancy" I use B&M synthetic (expensive...used in racemobiles.)

SOURCE: how do i change the transmission fluid out of my

There are two ways to changing the transmission oil. If your going to change the transmission oil and filter, your going to have to drop the transmission oil pan to get to the filter and the oil will drain from there, but keep in mind that it will get messy. The other way to replace the transmission oil if that is all your going to do is to get a large bucket and a small hose the size of the transmission oil line. You can disconnect the transmission oil line from the radiator on the passenger side and connect the hose to the line and the other end to the bucket. Start the truck and try to do this with two people, one to hold the hose and one to start the turn off the engine when the transmission is almost out of fluid. DO NOT RUN THE TRANSMISSION DRY, so make sure the other person understands you when you tell them to shut off the engine. This will ensure that you replace most of the fluid in the transmission, once most of the oil fluid has been drained from the transmission, just reconnect the oil line and refill the transmission fluid through the oil dip stick. Good luck and hope this helps.

I need to replace my transmission cooler lines on my 1995 GMC Jimmy is there just the bolts that hold them to the transmission and radiator or do I have to lift up on the motor or is there clamps ?

All of the transmission fluid can leak out. The cooling lines are there to cool the tranny fluid, and it is circulated through the radiator by means of a pump. If a line is leaking, the pump will just empty the fluid out through the leak. The lines are usually just held in place by clamps to keep them from chafing through against the body or chassis, so replacing them should be quite an easy job. Just undo the bolts that hold them to the box and the radiator, undo however many clamps hold them in place, and reverse the procedure with new pipes.

I have a 1994 gmc jimmy and I have a lot of transmission fluid pouring out. Could it be because of the wrong brand of transmission fluid being put in it

first check the transmission oil level with the dipstick. make sure the truck is on a level surface. there is level lines on the stick to show low and full levels. the brand of oil will not cause this but make sure the oil type is right. it should be a Dexron type oil which is for GM vehicles. if the vent tube for the transmission is plugged it can cause the oil to purge. it could be a hole in the oil pan or the pan gasket is damaged leaking the oil out or even a trans seal is bad.

How to add transmission fluid to a 1998 gmc jimmy

automatic or standard? Automatics have a dipstick, you use a funnel and pour it in through the dipstick tube, Standards have a bolt on the transmission you need to take out and fill it up till it can hold no more

Why would my 96 gmc jimmy shoot transmission fluid out where dipstick is when it's cold... Smokes alot

you have way too much fluid in trans !!!!!!!!!!!! remove trans pan, drain out fluid, replace gasket and filter, put in (4 quarts) fluid. MAYBE ! DONOT OVERFILL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DONOT DRIVE UNTIL YOU DO THIS !!! NOW, START ENGINE, LET IT WARM UP, CHECK FLUID LEVEL, IF ITS TOUCHING THE DIPSTICK TAKE VAN FOR A SHORT RIDE, AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD, (5-10) MINUTES, THEN , WHILE ON THE LEVEL, RECHECK FLUID LEVEL, 3 TIMES, WIPING OFF THE STICK EACH TIME, YOU WANT TO SEE THE FLUID LEVEL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE "HOT" CROSSHATCHED AREA OF DIPSTICK ! IF THATS WHERE IT IS, CONGRADULATE YOURSELF, YOU ACTUALLY DID IT RIGHT !!! LEAVE IT ALONE, GO ON YOUR WAY. NOW, IF YOU NEED TO ADD FLUID, USE YOUR FUNNEL, ADD ONLY A SHOT GLASS @ A TIME ! DO YOU HEAR ME ????? A SHOT GLASS @ A TIME, NO MORE, NO LESS. EVERYTIME YOU PULL DIP STICK OUT, WIPE IT OFF, WIPE IT OFF, WIPE IT OFF !!! MAKE SURE YOU RESEAT STICK ALL THE WAY IN ! REMEMBER, THE ENGINE MUST BE @ NORMAL RUNNING TEMPERATURE, WITH GEAR SHIFT IN PARK, ENGINE RUNNING !

Hello rvkenneljmil: My name is Roger I can help you. You did not say what transmission you were asking about. GM used 3 different transmissions. The automatic was a 700Ra. The standard transmissions were a Borg warner and one made by Isuzu. The MW1 was made by Borg warner had a bolt up bel housing.The transmission bolts to it.The Isuzu transmission is a two piece transmission. The bell housing and one half of the transmission case are one piece. Depending on the transmission make sure you use the correct fluid in them. 90wt gear oil in the Isuzu transmission will destroy the bearings.The code numbers for the Isuzu is MG5/MY2/M50. Please rate the quality of the information you received. This is how we track that you received the answer you wanted. Thank You for using FixYa.Roger
