Transmission fluid is funny
« on: May 27, 2011, 03:04:21 pm »
OK, I guess I should have said funny looking.  The trans fluid looks aerated, kinda bubbly when I checked it yesterday.  It wasn't all the way up to running temp, but I have never seen this condition.  It was clean, nice and red, but bubbly.  Any ideas guys?  By the way it's a 700r4 in my 86 4 wheel drive with 86,000 miles.

Aeration is a good indication of either over heating or that the fluid level is overfull.

Thanks Ville.  I'm going to assume that since I hadn't even left my driveway, it's probably overfull.  I guess I know what I'm doing tomorrow.
