I am still trying to sort out this transporter auto box its just had another oil change & filter this time with full synthetic $70 + worth of new oil again this time I fired it up with the oil pan off trying to drain the convertor I got an extra 200+ cc out of the system I did that 3 times running for 5 seconds at a time so as not to run anything dry & it worked .
I then let it stand for 1/2 hour while I had a cuppa fitted the new filter & bolted the tranny sump up & refilled it through the drain hole with a modifyed weed spray 5 Lt spray pump & some screw in fittings with clear plastic hose I can see the oil going to or from the box .
so i fill till it runs back when I dump the preeure out of the spray tank that tells me when it stops running back its full .
I run the engine with the trany in 1 st gear & keep filling till its full to the top of its tube with the engine running till its stopped running back again thats it put the plug in & the jobs done .
I took a peek in the Cat convertor while I was under the thing & could get to see inside & yes the mesh was blocked with carbon but not bad I cleaned it as best I could bolted it back up & promiced it a good flogging to bake it out with high tempratures on the freeway for a change .
Road test shifts were still a bit harsh but it felt better just needs a trip to get the tempratures up & make this new oil work .
I will take some temprature shots with my lazer thermo just for the hell of it I know my air to oil cooler takes 15C from the oil on the way through .
now see if I can drag thoes pictures in here out of flicker .
