im going to go ahead and change the trans fluid to atf+4 with a new filter. how do i get all that cheap atf out of there? out of the coverter that is? Thnaks Kodi

 

Oh man... I think we found your problem. You NEED to have ATF+4 in there. Get it at Walmart. Supertech is fine, but it's gotta be ATF+4. Tranny fluid isn't like motor oil where you can use different brands and viscosities. If a tranny is made for a specific type of oil, you have to use that same oil. Our Honda Accord, for example, it's made for ATF-Z1 and you can only get it at the dealer. Change the oil and see if it improves. That's a start. Keep in mind that on a drain and refill you can only get about 8 quarts out. The whole capacity is something like 20 quarts (I think). So it might take a couple drain and refills till you get it filled with mostly ATF+4. Might even want to look at a shop to do a tranny flush. Usually those cost $150 or so but it gets out over 95% of the old fluid. Might be worth it if it's gonna cost the same as doing a few drain and refills yourself.

 

im headed out right now to get the right atf and a new filter. Thank you.
