A&Q about 350Z
Q:
Not even a split second. I would have very much noticed, considering i find just the operation of the torque converter clutch aggrivating enough as it is. There was no shudder, skidding, grinding, pooping of parts, popping, banging, whizzing, sqeaking, squealing, howling, or breaking of parts. the car just coasted. I think it went something like this:
Drivn' drivn' drivn.. accidently pop into reverse
*4T60E* aww shit, this dumb$%@& just put me in reverse meng, i'm letting all of my clutches go!
*LQ1* Yeah, good idea. It says here in the "EMERGENCY HANDBOOK OF STUPID DRIVERS" that i should shutoff at this point, and we can coast.
*4T60E* Good plan man.
*LQ1* Do it to it!
excpet this happened in aobut 1/1000'th of a second.
A:
Now that's funny
A:
I dont have an Emergency Handbook of Stupid Drivers, but I have been know to use an Emergency Handsignal for Stupid Drivers.
A:
thanks for the great response guys, i am experiencing slightly rougher shifts and am getting a little shuddering at idle, my fluid was replaced 2 days before this happened, should i just replace it anyway or is there anything else i can do to better my situation, again i dont mind the mocking, it is expected, lol
another question...
if i go to a repair shop and tell them this happened, i feel they are just going to automatically say i need to repair it... is there something specific that will be wrong with it so i know that i'm not getting screwed?
A:
i would just continue driving it for now, see if it gets any worse or better. Once it starts dropping gears though, that means rebuild/replace.
A:
DO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT REPLACE YOUR FLUID YOU ARE CRAZY ARE YOU TRYING TO BLOW THIS GUYS TRANS UP, EVERYBODY AND THER MOTHER KNOWS YOU NEVER CHANGE THE TRANS FLUID INLESS YOU DO IT ON A REGULAR BAIS.. COME ON NOW TRANS FLUID IS LIKE THE BLOOD IN YOUR BODY, HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF SOMEONE DRANING ALL THE BLOOD IN THE BODY AND GETTING NEW BLOOD... AND LIVE !
A:
1 - No, you can change the fluid.
2 - Don't type in all caps.
3 - This thread died a long time ago. if it's more than 3 months old it's dead. don't bring back old threads.
A:
Uh, yeah you can. Its not like the blood in your body, its hydraulic fluid. It gets dirty, and in his case he destroyed it. Changing all your tranny fluid is not dangerous, that's an old wive's tale.
Closed. this thread is really old.
