Post by Dr Rocket »

Can anyone tell me roughly how much Dexron the auto trans on my 1990 terrano will need if I pump it dry??

That would be for a pan dump. If you are going to pump it dry or pull it out and empty all the oil it will be closer to 8L. Thats what the one in my Zuk (ca18 with nissan auto which is the same box) holds. The torque convertor hold 2L on its own.
Toy - Zuk chassis tub, hilux 4.88 axles and transfer, Nissan CA18DE motor and auto trans, sc12 supercharger, 32 10'5 simex, twin motor 8274 custom freespool. Well the parts are all there in various corners of the shed

Mmmm... Can anyone tell me how to pump my TD27 auto trans dry? I want to replace all the fluid (without removing the unit) and not just do a 'pan dump'.
My torque conerter no longer locks up so am trying the simple/cheap things first...
Thanks.

The easiest way is to have it done by a shop that has a flushing machine. Then the fluid is changed while it is running, and you can see the color of the fluid as it comes out compared to the color going in. Not cheap, because the amount of fluid it takes to flush it all properly. The best thing about the machine is, if used right it replaces what drains out :wink:
Other wise do several pan dumps over the space of a week or so.

I keep looking for the loose nut behind the wheel, but I can't find it!!
