How do I know where my transmission line is?
Generally the higher line on the radiator has fluid going INTO the transmission and the lower one goes back to the transmission, so the higher line has fluid coming out of it and the lower line sucks it back into the transmission.
Can you use rubber hose for transmission cooling lines?
You can use rubber hose, but make sure it’s transmission cooler line rated. The pressure is quite low (12-15 psi). Double clamp it or use FI type clamps instead of the worm-drive style.
Is the transmission connected to the radiator?
All transmissions have a cooling line that runs to the radiator. A separate fluid passage circulates the transmission fluid through a portion of the radiator to cool the fluid.
Can you make transmission lines?
You can get rubber transmission line at any local auto parts store quickly and easily.
Can bad radiator affect transmission?
When the engine and radiator do not receive the right flow of coolant, then it it can cause radiator problems. If a faulty radiator is not repaired, then it could also cause damage to the transmission if the transmission fluid is cooled using the radiator.
What should I do if my transmission is wearing out?
Check your fluid level often to make sure it’s at the full mark to keep your transmission cool and properly lubricated. Besides keeping a full fluid level, avoiding shifts at heavy throttle or shifting while your vehicle is moving can help your transmission from wearing out prematurely.
What does it mean when your transmission slams into gear?
When your transmission slams into gear it can be a sign of abnormal pressures, worn components or even a low fluid level. Start by checking your transmission fluid level and condition on the dipstick. If you find a low fluid level, ad BlueDevil Transmission Sealer and top off the fluid to get things back to normal.
What are the signs of a transmission problem?
Harsh Shifting. One of the first signs of transmission problems is when your transmission shifts hard. When your transmission slams into gear it can be a sign of abnormal pressures, worn components or even a low fluid level.
How can you tell if your transmission fluid is leaking?
Droplets of fluid underneath the transmission are a telltale sign of a leak. Automatic transmission fluid is typically red in color when it’s relatively fresh and clean. Manual transmission fluid (or gear oil) is semi-transparent or honey-colored. But what exactly causes a transmission fluid leak in the first place?
