Hello guys!
I overheated my transmission. I think I put not enough fluid in it. It happened twice, on the way to Squamish I went over the hill with the car slowing down, didn't know why. I didn't push it hard though. On the way back, the tranny started slipping, as the EGT went up on the hill. I still have this smell in my nose, I had to stop the car and then I see this warning red light AT temperature. Friend of mine pulled me over the top(300m), where I stoped and let the engine run for 5 min, shutted down for another 10min. Than started and went home, with mixed feelings.
Now, the fluid is burned. Should I do the tranny flush? Is the tranny gone? I know I have to try it first. I just don't want to spent more money if it's not necessary and rather save for a new transmission.
Thanks!
