I just installed a steeda tr ax and changed the fluid with napa brand dextron 3/mercon. I took it for a test drive after a day of ripping my center console out to get to it. Anyways when I floor it and let it wind out it sounds like a blower but not as loud, like a high pitch noise. Its not that loud but it kinda annoys me. does the new fluid just need to break in?

 

try a synthetic based atf

 

I was going ot go with royal purple but the guy at napa said its a waste and this would do fine.

 

and what makes the napa counter guy an expert????I'm no engineer or fluid expert nor is he but based on experience I can tell you it's not a waste

 

Haha ya i know but thers wasnt any synthetic in it before it was the same red colour and it didnt make the noise before. I put in 2.6 liters that is what the manuel said.

 

sometimes after changing out old fluid to new for strange reasons new noises arise, I've sometimes had to add conditioners to various other cars when such occurs, not saying nthat's what you have to do just what I have had to do in some instances

 

**** im so pissed off was driving all night and the noise is pissing me off, its also a rattling sound too. Also my shifthandle is loose now. I think it may not be sealed well because the gasket i bought wasnt that great of a fit. Was i suposed to use locktite? Im so confused now, I think im gonna redo it but with rtv instead of the am gasket. Is there a better way to get the lower boot plate off with out removing all the center console and ****?

 

**** me, im sick of this stupid car, I just spent 63 bucks on royal purple and paid 45 ****in dollers at osme rip off lube x place to put it in since I didnt have a hose or the time to fill it myself cause I had to go to work. And it didnt help at all. I am totally lost here I really dont know what to do then accept my tranny is ****ed up from a short shifter.

 

Please some one help im so frustrated, I want to kill my car.

 

back off your shift stops... noob
