 | Subject: Water in the Transmission  Fri Dec 20, 2013 12:00 pm | |
| My latest in a string of problems with my supercustom is the un-invited guest to the transmission fluid.
I pin-pointed the problem (split cooler line in the radiator tank) but the damage is already done.
I have no gears at all it seems. Reverse, Drive, 2, 1, they all act like Neutral.
Would this be the end of the transmission? or the torque converter? or will a flush of the system save the day?
I dont want to waste money on a new transmission or torque converter if a flush is the answer, and i dont want to waste money on flushing the system if it is fried.
What would you do? | |

| Don't know off hand, the only way to drain the TC is to remove it. Draining the box and refilling will dilute the existing content.
I suggest you talk to a transmission specialist. | |

| Water in the transmission is a common problem with all the Ford Falcon Taxis in Australia .
They have a water cooled exchanger that often leaks water into the auto .
We just flush the trans with new fluid and drive it around after it , It fixes the problem ok. \
Sometimes if all the gears are not perfect after we redo the flush with new fluid a second time to get any remaining water in the system. | |
