I have a new transmission and brakes. also just changed oil. now i am being told i need to change fluid on diferential and metal shavings are coming off the cap. can this be possible? also they told me it should be serviced and changed every thousand miles.

I would recommend the flush due to all of the fluid is pushed out with new fluid so it should push the old out with the new . I've never flushed one and it cause to stsrt slipping . If you have metal shavings on the clutches you may need to do a clutch replacement and you may be smelling a burnt clutch . It's smells awful like rurnt eggs or something awful . I would definitely look into where the shaving are from and if it's gonna keep hitting whatever it's hitting before I replaced the fluid . Trans fluid I cheap and if you change it and shavings is still generating then you wasted your money on the fluid change..

My advice is to type out what your issue is - this is not a texting app and we need to understand the details of your issue. As best I can figure out, you are having problems with your transmission, took it to have the fluid changed, and someone (mechanic?) told you that because of the metal shavings in the old fluid (plus the warning light flashing) they recommended transmission rebuild/replacement. That's good advice. Your transmission may be rebuildable now, and may only require a few parts. Keep driving it until it quits altogether and it's going to cost a lot more.

Change the transmission fluid and filter. The light says fluid temp. is high, so you may have some burnt fluid-deadly for transmissions. Drop the trans. pan and look for metal shavings-too much will indicate failure of transmission parts. If not too much, you may be alright with fluid and filter change.
Stop the leak,. make sure it is trans. fluid, not motor oil. If motor oil, stop the leak and change oil and filter. I would do the transmission regardless, since the light came on.

check transmission fluid levelif you see metal shaving in oil pan time for rebuilt if you see more than a table spoon full of shavings but i would change transmission fluid and filter.if engine running higher rpm on acceleration transmission is slipping.

My truck does the same thing, pressure never drops to 0 but drops low, replaced the oil pressure sensor and same thing happened. My oil is always black and has a lot of metal in it, next time you change your oil, pour a quart of transmission fluid into the oil and let it run for 10 minutes or so, this should thin out the oil and possibly unclog some of the ports that may be gummed up. What could have happened with the dipstick is that the old oil was too nasty to drain all the way, with the fresh oil it could have thinned out and raised the level, try the transmission fluid trick and see what happens, next possibility is to have the engine scoped to see whats going on inside

remove the transmission oil pan replace the filter bolt the pan back on put 4 liters of DEXTRON V1 start vehicle run to operating temp. under the vehicle on the right side were the drive axle is there is a 10mm bolt remove it keep adding transmission fluid till it comes out that hole then reinstall the bolt DO NOT SHUT THE EHGINE OFF TILL THAT BOLT IS BACK IN

The transmission oil needs to be changed about every 30 to 35 thousand miles, the fluid and filter has to be changed and all the fluid needs to be changed. Over time the bands and clutches wear and it plugs the filter which starves the transmission for fluid thus causing overheating and damage to the transmission, All cars require this service as cars run metal is shaved off the parts and lap in to fit this material will get into the oil and cause premature failure of the transmission, just like not changing the oil in the engine. You don't change it and you destroy the engine. You should add Lucas Transmission oil conditioner as well, this softens the bands and clutches and helps the rubber seals stay pliable. I am a certified master mechanic for cars and trucks, and if you want the car to run for a long time you want to change the oil. Read your owners manual and it will have the service mileage for it. Not changing the oil can cost you $4000.00 so a $150.00 oil change is much cheaper. If you don't have an owner’s manual call your local dealer and ask them they will verify what I am telling you. Also the transmisson oi is ra threw the radiator and if the oil is getting hot it will make the ac to under perform it will not get as cool. Thanks for your time and if this helped you please rate me.

You can have the fluid exchanged at a oil change store. That flush new fluid in transmission only. The proper way is to remove transmission pan to change the filter and to clean the magnet cake with metal shaving. (This can be a mess when you first release pan to drain the fluid) The next you need remove RTV from pan mating surface,then reseal it with RTV or a gasket. Then fill transmission with fluid

unit is junk.... that much metal and debris indicates clutch and hard part damage.

To change the transmission fluid make sure you have purchased: 1. filter with the o-ring 2. MOPAR ATF + 3 Type 7176, p/n 05010124AA fluid (I believe it took 6 quarts?) You are not changing the torque converter fluid so there will not be 12 quarts needed.). 3. Pan gasket. You should receive the new neoprene reusable pan gasket. This is because the recommendation is to change the transmission fluid every 25,000 miles. 4. There is a fluid additive to prevent foaming? Use it.


Raise the vehicle on a hoist. Remove the pan bolts. Remove the old gasket material with a plastic scraper. There could be metal transfer if you use a metal scraper. Clean the pan carefully. Clean the magnet that sits in the pan as it collects the minute metal shavings. If you see an excess of larger particles, you really should have the transmission inspected at a shop. Replace the filter carefully looking at its arrangement before removing. It took a second look to install a new filter because I did not watch how it was situated before removing. Use a thin coat of transmission fluid on the new pan gasket. Orient reusable gasket properly with bolt holes and assemble oil pan and gasket to transmission case. Tighten oil pan bolts to 19 Nm (165 in lbs.). CAUTION: DO NOT OVERFILL TRANSAXLE. DO NOT ADD OIL IF LEVEL IS BETWEEN: LOWER HOLES FOR WARM OIL (100?F). UPPER HOLES FOR HOT OIL (180?F.).
