Had a used transmission installed after burn-out of original trani on 1986 BMW 325es. Original burned up due to leaking connector hose. "New" one is noisey on shifting, a clunking sound at lower speeds and when entering freeway very heavy thump shift, like getting hung up momentarily. Slipped quietly a couple of times. Sometimes seems okay which seems odd. Also seems sluggish, draggy. What to do? Took it back in and he tells me noise is normal(?)!!

Did you prelube the seals after installation? Possibly damage one while installing? Use car wash pressure hose to clean things up, then try to find where the leak is.

If your original blower burned up, or if the original resistor failed, it is likely that some of the wires leading to the resistor and blower BURNED slightly in the process, and will need to be replaced all the way back to where they connect to the fuse block. (The wires may have been pinched or otherwise damaged somewhere, so they no longer carry the amount of current required, causing the resistor to fail due to a low-voltage over-current condition.) Sadly a failed resistor can also burn the motor out. Check the windings of the motor (via the connector) using an ohmmeter to see if it is still good.

I am original owner of 1986Toyota Pickup 2wd caRB. 4SP MAN. SHORT BASE MFG.IN JAPAN. I NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH ANYTHING UNDER THE HOOD OR IDLE OR ACELLERATION. iT RUNS JUST LIKE THE DAY i BOUGHT IT IN oCT. 1986. i NEVER ADJUSTED CARB OR CHOKE OR CLEANED IT iT HAS ALL ORIGNIAL PARTS EXCEPTTHE STARTER, BATTERY AND WATER PUMP GASKET.

CHANGE THOSE ALSO WHEN YOU THOSE YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THEM ALL IT PUTS PRESSURE ON ONE SIDE ONE OLD AND ONE IS NEW

Most likely speedometer cable, check wiring harness to gauges and cable driven cruise control if so equiped

Black smoke is burning oil. Blue smoke is usually transmission fluid due to a leaking modulator valve in the older auto transmission. White smoke is due to water getting in to a cylinder from a bad gasket, cracked block or a cracked head. Black smoke from engines on starting and/or running tends to mean there is fuel leaking into the engine, or the fuel mix is incorrect and not atomised correctly. the main causes are normally a nakered air filter that isnt letting enough clean air into the engine to mix. a blocked fuel filter, which is either not letting enough fuel in, or in some cases, a faulty fuel filter which is letting too much fuel into the engine, and causing black smoke due to excess burning. Black smoke is a fuel/air mixture suggestion problems with injection or carbonation. Cause of black smoke is due to running rich in the fuel air mix. Check the oil,the oil leak,the air filter,the fuel pump and fuel filter to confirm the fault.

Thanks. Keep updated for any more query. You can rate this solution and show your appreciation

If axles are slipping out the c-clip on the axle tips (end that goes inside differential) is badly worn. Replace these and your problem should go away.

is it leaking ? did it collapse? or did it burst?
you can access this if the car is raised up in the air or jacked up on jackstands than remove everything in your way undue the hose clamps for the hose and than yank it off and install the new one but make sure you do it when the engine is cold or you can get serious burns

Check the trans cool hoses from the trans to the radiator.
Try and find where the fluid is leaking from.
Let me know what you find.

Hi

Yes you need to replace what is called the Fan Viscous Coupling Unit.

Then swap over the fan blades.

Quite straightforward.

Good luck !
