Based on my prior thread, I want to have the transmission fluid changed on my wife's Hyundai Veracruz. This appears to be a not simple job. And since there's no dipstick, I don't really have any way to check the work. Can anyone recommend a reliable shop in the Dallas area? "I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here." -- Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address, Jan. 11, 1989 Si vis pacem para bellum There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.

Can't help you with your query, but you might want to consider the following. It's called a Colombian flush. For people who forgot to change the transmission fluid. You capture the fluid, be it a drain or a flush, and then filter it with a rag or cheesecloth. The filtered fluid is put back in. Then top off to desirable level with fresh, new transmission fluid. Granted, I've never tried that so I can't speak of personal experience, but those who have claim that it helps the gears grab better than it would with all new fluid. You might want to consider it taking into account the stories of transmission slippage after a flush. And ask around if you know any Colombian friends, or someone who might have heard of it. Of course, if the underlying problem is mechanical in nature, it won't do any good. *************************** Knowing more by accident than on purpose. | |||

If there is as he says, no dip stick how is one supposed to know if you have over filled it of if it's low? SigP229R Harry Callahan "A man has got to know his limitations". Teddy Roosevelt "Talk soft carry a big stick" I Cor10: 13 "1611KJV" | |||

If it leaks out and catches fire: too full. If the vehicle won't move: too low. | |||

Much like a differential, the opening is probably on the side. You fill and when it starts coming out, it's full. Hedley Lamarr: Wait, wait, wait. I'm unarmed. Bart: Alright, we'll settle this like men, with our fists. Hedley Lamarr: Sorry, I just remembered . . . I am armed. | |||
