J_R32 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Hey guys/gals seriously thinking of makeing that tranny "warmer" of mine in my r32 gtst auto redundant. I noticed r33 auto's have an external tranny cooler, was wandering is this enough/efficient for a "stock" ( no more then 140rwkw) r32gtst auto? Also how do you change/flush out auto fluid? is it just a matter of dropping a tranny hose going into the radiator and waiting for it to leak out, or do i run the engine in P until its dry? i am just wanting to flush out the old oil and add new oil in(which u do thru the tranny dipstick pipe right? thankyou!

rb25_vl Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 never run the transmission dry its pritty easy to do but i suggest you get approx 10L or more of fluid before starting remove the trans hose off radaitor (after the radiator/cooler) meaning the cooler will be flushed also. you will need to pump the fluid in as soon as the key is turned on, and i do suggest you get someone on the key. ok once your all set up with the hose off and in a big bucket, one you dont want to use again get your 2nd persion to hit the key. the fliud will now be flowing and you should be adding fluid all the time at this point. also keep an eye on the draining fluid, once you see the fluid change from a brown burnt color to the color of the new stuff thats when your helper shoud key off and stop pumping fluid in. connect up all hoses again and check your level, adjust as nessesery. if its too full than remove the hose again and crank but not start motor. reconect and check level again. --------- DONT MISS THIS STEP----------------- once your happy, go for a spin. come back and check the level again. and your set and about the tranny cooler idea, yes verry good idea, mount it all up after doing the flush and dont use old coolers (there cheep $110 or so for a kit) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/134156-r33-gtst-auto-cooler-in-r32-autoand-changin-auto-fluid-how/#findComment-2495898 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SECURITY Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 no point. go into supercheap auto, they sell PWR cooler cores for cheap. i saw one bigger than mine (which i got from tranny cooler group buy) and it was cheaper. the bigger core was $80 and the group buy was somewhere near $118. and you'd get the trans cooler pipes for around $15. but in the end if you want an r33 auto cooler core, ive got my standard one here Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/134156-r33-gtst-auto-cooler-in-r32-autoand-changin-auto-fluid-how/#findComment-2500219 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abo Bob Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 No point on stock car. There is however, a point in flushing the fluid.
