Auto Trans Oil

[havoc34]

Hi I know I have asked this before. But all have told me Dex-III for my auto Trans is the one. But what I would like to know is what is the quantity required and have anyone done a flush themselves? If you have pointers would be good.

I have done it on my Mitsubishi Delica before after reading up on the net in regards to a D.I,Y auto transmission oil change in the Delica Forum.

Problem was on my delica it shudders when shifting from 2nd to third so drained the pan and top up it did nothing so did whatwas in the delica forum and it solved the issue and shifting was bloody smooth that you dun relly feel the shift but just the rev meter moving up or down when shifting.

So did the Flushing and all but cause i know the quantity iin the auto box. (Eg in the delica there's 8.9 liters in there so i drained the pan dry ( 2liters ) and pulg it back up top up 2 liters and unplug the cooler outlet that's going back to the box. Start and shift thru the gears while draining out from the cooler outlet 2 liters , top up, start shift thru drain, until i get about 9liters out. Thereby replacing the new oil to the torque converter and the whole system. (Basically that's what the auto flush machine do replacing new oil into the system while its draining out the old oil.)

So will this do for the R34 auto?

So anyone knows how much oil in the whole auto trans box? Or just replace whatever that comes out?? Or have anybody done the whole system oil replacement a different way then this before?

Please advise..Urgent buying the oils trying to get it done tomorrow with all the other oils, Engine, Auto and Diff.

Cheers

Daniel

just start it up with the feed hose into a big bucket and a funnell taped on the return hose . keep pouring it in till it comes out clean.
