@@jjamsdaddy I had a similar problem with mine I had a clogged shift solenoid I drained the fluid and put fresh fluid in it help for a little while but eventually I had to take it to the shop
Most likely the fuel injector had deposit build up and didnt allow for the correct fuel to air ratio in the combustion chamber which was causing the rough idle. The lucas cleared up the build up and fixed the issue. Easy fix.
@@anthonyjohnson2570 there's a bracket that bolts to the back of the plenum holds the map sensor and something else there's a couple nuts on there you can remove those two sensors and a bracket give you plenty of room to reach back there and do anything you got to do
For anyone who needs to put more fluid in, take the plastic battery cover off and you’ll see a clip or clips that the ECU (computer) slides into. Depress the clip retainers and pull the ECU up & off. You can set it to the side (not on top of the battery). That will give you more room to access the fill hole. Also, the official repair manual says that the engine should be running and the transmission should be between 185-203 degrees Fahrenheit when checking the fluid. Of course, you can choose to check it however you want. I’m just relaying info. Also, if your car needs to have either of its front drive axels replaced, the transmission will need to be refilled with fluid. The mechanic should know this but make sure you ask them about checking the fluid level after the car’s been driven for a while. The transmission fluid will normally drop because of the air bubbles introduced during the axel replacement. Always make sure your mechanic agrees to top it off after the air bubbles have worked their way out of the system.
It's not exactly the same depressed in the caliper you also have to screw the centerpiece in while you're doing it there is a tool you can get for free at AutoZone O'Reilly's whatever they have the free tool loan here's a video that explains it pretty good
Okay I found a video that explains what you need it is. GM W Car rear caliper service procedure. Pressing in the caliper is a little bit different but everything else is the same
Took my level plug out without it running and it all came out. About 4 quarts right away and more overnights. Couldn't believe the puddle on my garage floor the next morning. What a horrible design. GM should be ashamed of themselves!! 😆
@@fooman0142 you think it was like 5 quarts over filled? It takes 5.3 right? I know there's some spare room in there because of the fluid areating,but double the space of what it takes?
"Drove it around the block and it was running better". Seriously, Dude? That's not even enough time for the Lucas to make it through the fuel line and reach your engine.
Running not running temperature low high didn't matter I've done it both ways and it came up about two cups of transmission fluid difference which shouldn't hurt that transmission
I noticed an oily substance down the side of the car started to inspect to find out where it was coming from transmission fluid driver's side input shaft seal is leaking
Thanks for this video! I was at my nearest Chevrolet dealership the other day and they said that my brake pads were "fair" and needed to be replaced, so they printed me out a list of all the things they wanted to charge me for to replace. Long story short, they wanted to charge me $500 to change my brake pads... Now I am quite young, only 22. But I know BS when I see it, most of that charge was for labor. I decided to just buy some front brake pads and watched this video and changed them out myself, I even went out and bought some Anti-Seize like you used and it worked like a charm. Just wanted to come back to this video and thank you for showing young people like me how to do easy maintenance on our vehicles and save money. Hope you're happy and healthy! Best Regards, Hagen
You my guy my malibu has 145k miles on it and never changed the transmission oil due to the previous owner telling me that this car doesn’t require and that it will break instantly when i bought it from him at 90 miles but i have concerns like the first the shift are a tiny but slow and the engine is a bit loud what should i do
You have to put that stuff when you get a car that is new like 10 k miles or 40 k after 70 k and you never put that your car is doom or lose power that will help it but the seal are damage
@@dennismathews311 only thing different on the driver side grab a hold of the window washer fluid tube pull up on it they will come off that will allow you access to the headlight bulb
