Snoozin Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I admit it. I know damn near nothing about auto boxes. BW 35 in the Trump is playing up - has a distinct grinding feeling on acceleration, and it slips in 1st and 2nd now. Gets pretty hot, appeared to have bugger all fluid in it - added fluid until I had used a litre and still no real budge on the dipstick. Need this to get to Nats - super fucked off. Anyone got any ideas??? I'm truly stumped tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 tried filling it up some more? I wonder if they have an internal trans fluid filter? Perhaps with being run low on fluid, the trans line pressure has been low therefore not much clamp on the bands/clutches which has allowed a bit of slip which therefore further wears out the said bands/clutches. I would drop the pan anyway and look at the bottom for deposits. You may be able to get away with getting the bands re-adjusted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Yeh def fill it up properly to start with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 There is fluid on the dipstick - it's just not 'solid' like it is below the bottom mark. I chucked a litre in and it didn't even move. Now it's pooing out the breather by the looks so I assume it is overfilled now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidTheCreator Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 take it to a trans shop and get them to flush it and change the fluid, then adjust up the bands and hope that that fixes it, ( could also get the filter replaced if one is avalible) i know of a guy who has a 2500tc auto trans in his garage if you need another one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 ^ yes if it's cheap I'll gladly take it if it's in decent working order. Thing I like about my one is, it's oil tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoozin Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 I haven't the time, space, skills or money to adapt another trans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
