Very informative and helpful. The top of my transmission, where the fill plug sits is always wet. I just can't seem to locate what, where the leak or thing causing it. I dont have any stains on my driveway but every 2 months it collects a layer of dust and dirt leaving a gooey mess. Was wondering if you have herd of any similar issue? Thanks for the video.
Hi, My question is, LETS SAY there is a STREAM coming out of the fluid check port at a good rate ...do you replace the plug SOON AS the flow begins to slow down, or should I wait for it run out as slow as it did in this video? THANK YOU
I think he was saying the flow he's showing is in the video is a good flow. If it's faster let it drain, but not all over your parts. Probably grab something empty to catch it all.
@@GodsChild1249 I couldnt agree more. I just changed the transmission filter and fluid in my 2017 jeep and it was nearly impossible to get all the bolts off the pan. Also no dipstick. Its a conspiracy I'm sure.
To get the most accurate reading, you want the car to be fully warmed up, running, in neutral, and on a level surface. Dont forget to set your parking brake so it doesn't roll over you.
🚨I have a question... I had seen another video before yours and the guy didn't have the engine running when he checked the fluid and removed the overfill plug. I'm not sure which is the proper way to check it, with or without the engine running. But wouldn't the transmission fluid not be level or accurate when you removed the overfill plug and the fluid drains out "while the engine is running and everything is rotating"? 🤔 What's the proper way? To get a proper reading, wouldn't you want the fluid to be "still and level" without the engine running to be accurate? 🤔
@@codemansauto208 thank you so much for responding. I thought it was the same but wanted to make sure before we get under there this week. Thanks again and blessings 🙏 to you. 🪛🛠🔧⚙️
I have basically the same vehicle. Going on 119,000 miles. When this transmission goes out, I'm getting a different vehicle lol. One That has a dipstick and a filter pan.
To clarify both of these prior responses, which are both kinda correct: Yes there is a filter, but unlike older cars, this is a "Sealed Transmission" and in order to actually change it, you would have to literally open up the whole Trans to find it, instead of just dropping the transmission pan and swapping the filter like we all used to do 10-50+ years ago. So Yes, there is a Filter. No, it is not replaceable (well, I guess it is if you're rebuilding your transmission, but you get what I'm saying)
I HAVE A 2011 CHEVY MALIBU LT WHEN I DRIVING IT MAKES A HUMMING SOUND ALSO WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE NOT TOUCHING THE GAS IT JERKS WHEN IM ON THE HIGHWAY IT JERKS CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THESE PROBLEMS PLZ? CAN I PLZ HAVE YOUR NUMBER SO I CAN CALL YOU AND TALK TO YOU MORE PLZ RESPOND QUICKLY THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP IN ADVANCE ITS DRIVING MY INSANE
I noticed that engine is making the same noise. Mine makes, and it sometimes goes away when it shifts could that be the torque converter ts a quite clicking noise.sorta
@@codemansauto208 my Malibu 2011 2.4 has a dip stick can I add transmission fluid there or do I have to drain the whole system or can I just add transmission fluid?
It’s pretty simple. Drain plug is on drivers side, remove lf wheel and hub cap, remove plastic cover, then have a straight shot. Transmission drain plug is on the bottom of the transmission. This guy did a great job explaining
