Guest Muncie Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Just getting car ready for beach hop and really thought i should investigate further as it took few revs today to get the ol girl to move up a steep drive today in reverse and made some aweful whining/humming sound while doing it. Normally i just rip auto boxes out and throw in a manual but i think i'll give it a second chance i'm hoping it just needs a fluid change to sort it as it drives fine once its warm. anything else i should look it while i have the pan off?

Guest kiwi808 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 When was the last time you did a Auto Tranny fluid flush and change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Muncie Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 only had it on road 3 weeks work done is minimal by last owner i'm trying to get it back up to spec for some family cruising, anyone know if there is special grade these would prefer now Trans fluid has come a long way since this gearbox rolled off the line. cant be assed with a manual swap this year so this needs to live a bit longer yet.

Guest JoKer Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 once R does weird shit your gunna need to open it up/swap it for a good unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Snoozin Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 My 2.5 did this to 2 BW35's and both shat themselves in quick succession. By the time I had a 3rd decent one in I decided manual was the only option. Best thing I ever did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Borgweiser Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Reverse has a much higher fluid demand, generally the noise in reverse means the filter is blocked or the level is low. replace oil and filter and you'll be sweet. Remember BW35 is meant to use type F fluid, hard to find but Dexron 3 is okay in service I find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Snoozin Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 ^ Did both to mine, and adjusted bands to spec and it still fucked out. Valvoline do a nice readily available Type F fluid, at least they did 18 months ago when I probably last filled a BW35 with fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Borgweiser Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I suggest trying my suggestion with a optimistic outlook. The 35 is a strong unit, such so that it gets neglected. No need to condemn it yet, it's only a minor fault if you can hear it whirring it's fluid starvation. Especially since it was a steep driveway in reverse....

Guest Muncie Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Type F it is. driveway was real steep both wheels started to slip just as i made it to the road quite likely it had all the fluid at wrong end of sump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Muncie Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Just got back from beach hop 450 k's trouble free after type F went into the pan turns out filter was blocked as 3 of the 4 gauze panels in it were choked as with grit and just general trans dirt all in all bloody happy. just left it in D all weekend and cruised shit out of the car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
