How to Flush Tranny on Accent 2002
I have an Accent 2002 with over 100k miles on it. I want to flush the
tranny and was wondering if there is a "screw/bolt" (like the one on the drain pan) i can use to flush it or do i have to do major work for that? |
Re: How to Flush Tranny on Accent 2002
You can drain the transmission and fill it using the two drain plugs (one
on the pan, one on the differential) and refilling through the dipstick tube. This will change about half the transmission fluid. To do a flush (or fluid exchange), you'll need to remove the return cooler line and place in a container to catch the old fluid. Add a couple quarts through the dipstick tube and then start the car to pump fluid out. You'll need to do this for about 12 quarts for a good flush. This will replace almost all the fluid in the transmission. Repair facilities have a machine they hook up to the cooler line that will exchange the fluid. |

Although I don't understand why? most good auto mechanics (one, the car
Dr Ron Annanian) DO NOT advise changing the fluid or flushing on a high milage car?Like I said I don't understand,but I do trust him. RIPPER FREEDOM WILL NEVER BE FREE! BOYCOTT CALIFORNIA SPORT TOURING! |
Re: How to Flush Tranny on Accent 2002
The theory behind recommending not changing fluid is that very old fluid
will have metal particles in it and will result in higher friction than the new fluid. When the new fluid is introduced, it can accelerate slipping of the clutches. By the same token, continuing to drive on the old fluid will acclerate wear. If you've run your car too far beyond the service interval, the damage has mostly already been done. It's then more a choice of which method of failure you'd prefer. |

I was told that a flush of the transmission would help my slipping problem.
Also, would additives help at reducing the slipping? The 'Lucas' brand was suggested. Any ideas. Thanks for the replies. |
