Hey guys! A search didn't pull up much (maybe I need better search skills!).
I'm swapping transmissions to a rebuilt E4OD and a new Torque Converter too. It's for a truck I bought with a known bad trans, and sourced a new (refurbed) trans.
I've pulled the pan and drained the fluid (wow, what a mess!) And found a TON of metal shavings, no surprise there. I'm about to drop the trans, but I know there's a ton more fluid up in there, specifically in the cooler.
My current plan is to hook up low pressure compressed air and blow out the fluid. Will that do it? If so, do I hook to the top line or bottom line? I'd think top line to back flush, or do I have that backwards?
Lastly, any specific recommendations on fluid type? We're in NW Montana, so -15*F isn't uncommon. Won't be towing heavy, just use as a farm truck.
Thanks all!
Here's a photo of the magnet in the bottom of the pan.
And here's the truck it's going into. Not bad for $1200!
