Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re: Tranny shifting

 

I put Amoil ATF in my tranny, and it seems to shift smoother. This is a
replacement tranny, as the original one blew apart. I want it to last
for awhile. The early synthetic motor oils did seems to cause leaks in
older engines, when they first came out, yet that has been dealt with
year's ago. If unsure if the tranny's still good, swap out with generic
dextron atf and a filter, and see if that helps. If it does, then switch
over to synthetic at a later date. That's what I did with the
replacement tranny.

Thanks, Nate, the one potential solution that slipped my mind. I will check over the next few days. Thank goodness for holidays.

Amsoil, Royal Purple or what is the best gear oil to put in a W123 rear end?  Just doing the new car fluid changes on the 1980 TD Wagen.  Is severe service oil needed for the Wagen vs. the sedan?  Lawrence Rhodes.....

[diesel_mercedes] Oops. 6quarts in the Tranny.

 

I had bought transmission fluid 6 months ago for a change in one of my 240's.  I then realized that my synthetic use allowed me to go farther and put off the change.  I then acquired a 1980TD.  I got the H199 filter and did the new car change but forgot how much it took thinking it was 6.5 quarts.  So I put in 6 and forgot it was 5.5 or so.  How much did I over fill?  Is it a problem? I emptied the torque converter too.  Book says it takes over 6.  Should I trust the dip stick which says I'm a Quart and a half high?  I let it drain for around 45min. to an hour.    Lawrence Rhodes.....
