Evan G Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 its its on the frist reading thats low on fluid, should be on the highest mark when hot so pumping the trottle helped? did shifting from L to H under full load help? or did you go 60kph in first then shifted firm? did it make that YOUUUURRRRR KILLINGGGG MEEEEEE vibration at 60kph?

KaiShin Posted February 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Haha true... Well the fluid totally slipped my mind :jamie: What the best way to fill the box? Fill up some, go for a drive test the level and so forth? I've been so pre-occupied tryng to get all the stuff for the conversion since I bought the car, it hasn't really recieved the proper looking after... I;ve given up on the 3k and auto already :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiShin Posted February 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Oh, thank you all very much for your help. Really feel good to feel like an idiot :jamie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan G Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 nah just use a funnel in the dipstick tube, just slowly top it up like 80ml a time, check it, fill, check untill its on max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamboo Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 my opinion. raid your mum/partners drawers and find a skinny funnel. no luck? cut down a soft drink bottle and make it fit the dipstick tube. and pour away. It's always easier to add fluid than it is to take it out. BE GENTLE!!! As my boss always said,....................imagine a new virgin!

Evan G Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 (edited) just buy a funnel or half the fluid will be on the cement (the wife will also kill you here) bamboo calls me master butcher! i wonder why? :jamie: Edited February 2, 2010 by Evan G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiShin Posted February 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 True... but I'd do it in my shed... Which has a lovely painted floor so I can just wipe it up :jamie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamboo Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Sorry again Kaishin, I've seen evans apron (stripy butcher like). Reality.. If you buy a one litre bottle it'll come with a pouring nozzle. easy. If you have any more probs I'll defend you from the butcher of the north. Big E we both agree... love ur work, yet again................ Bamboo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiShin Posted February 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Ok... Fluid level is now good... Shifts and takes off from 1st still fine. In all 3 gear positions (L 2 D). Will hold first gear to 60kph if I hold the accelerator then just drops gears and free revs. When I am driving along and shift from D to 2, I feel it trying to do something. I n slower speeds I now hear a whining when in the 2 position, but no other position. If I keep my foot on the accelerator in D or 2 it will select a gear for about 2 seconds then drops the gear and free revs again. In L it holds the gear and starts screaming its tits off and shakes like its going to die. The plot thickens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammo[RL] Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Could be the vacume line from the manifold to the gearbox. Has got some rubber pipe at each end. This can perish and cause a vacume leak, and thus making your gearbox not know which gear to pick... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
