change the ATF ASAP.

 

heard from WS, if wrong ATF use.. the gear box will cease.. it will take some time before it cease.. and once cease... an overhaul might be required.

TS you might want to try RDY @ AMK Autopoint. The owner himself drive a optra, and the shop do up quite a lot of chevy. They are using ATF machine (the red one) too.

 

 

I called RDY, they use the GM metal can original ATF.

It does have a small aluminum tube opening (where the ATF dipstick is) at the engine bay. Just put a funnel and pour the ATF in. Similar to engine oil.

Yes, mine is also done this way, drain from the bottom, top up from the top where the dipstick is.

this morning went back to WS, told them the issue, at first he disagree, than I told him the problem, and he changed for me, going back again tomorrow to replace again and 1 third round on friday.

 

The boss is a reansonable man so far, did not even collect $$ yet, just told me to go, settle everything than pay.

 

update again.

No wonder their productivity is so low. Trying to gravity feed the ATF via a narrow opening , without even a small opening for the air in the transmission to escape. The shop could easily increase its turn around time by just investing in a cheap oil hand pump .

They will not be interested in productivity as long as our gahment allows easy import of foreign labour and no Singaporeans would be interested doing such mundane and low skilled jobs if WS sticks to cheap labour.

Yes imported cheap labour working without any safety and protection is one of the main cause of low productivity and other is demand for dirt cheap services.

Just stick to manufacturer's specs.

 

Like what Tianmo said, don't mess around with ATF.

 

There's no need to listen to WS monkeys.

WS tells me if car use SP3, then type IV also can use.

 

But, if car uses type IV, then SP3 cant be used......

 

any true or not....... [confused]

 

 

My manual call for JWS 3309, which is also T-IV, WS put in SP3, 1st few days Ok, after 1 week, can feel 1st gear change to 2rd gear, and the feel gets worst each day, than follow by loss of power, and is like 3rd gear cannot get into 4th gear and when I step harder, engine roar louder but nothing change, engaged rev gear car like jump a little. FC increase by about 10%.

 

This is what happen to me................true or not I don't know, because the car not dead yet. [laugh]
