I got my car back from the shop recently for some repairs and when I did, I can't shift the car into any gear when its completely stopped. I've never had this happen to me before. The shop "bled" the transmission and added Mesh additive to it too, with no luck. I can shift fine if its moving, but have no idea whats wrong with the transmission.
Sorry for the noobish description |

what's an additive besides the Lucas oil Trans Fix?? to me its either all 75w-90 gear oil or all Royal Purple Synchromesh, not mixed fluids or any sort
-not enough gear oil -they put the wrong "mesh" additive (what ever that is), well you shouldn't be mixing stuff in there anyways my question is, how do you bleed the trans?? is it like bleeding a brake/clutch line or are you referring to draining and filling the diff??? DIY a diff drain and fill with 75w-90 gear oil 3qts. Use the search button to find people who asked how and where the trans drain and fill plugs are before making another thread yourself.

QUOTE (enderswift @ Apr 21, 2010 - 7:52 PM)  why was it in the shop in the first place? The axle bracket broke and took a piece of the engine with it. So the shop replaced the engine and the axle. And now the transmission is acting up.

Thanks for the information, I appreciate it. I don't really know how you go about bleeding a transmission either. |
