AUTO troubles

[muggo05]

F@#*% hell!!

i dont have that sort of money, to fix the auto or for a manual conversion!

thought i'd upgraded my car from my older pulsar to something newer and more reliable and it hits me with another massive bill.

F&#%!!!!!

I dont think it is that serious personally. At this stage ur not really 100% on whats wrong with the thing. PM Matt (Golf Loon) and get him to have a look at it. Until then chill out man

[muggo05]

yeah true no point getting annoyed until there is something to get annoyed about.

PM SENT

I came from a pulsar too. Have you checked the trans fluid level? Or droppped the fluid and replaced it with fresh stuff?

[muggo05]

no but i will. how do i check the level?? where is the drain?

bit of a novice at this sort of stuff

The bottle is on the top-left of the engine bay. As for the draining, check this out: http://faculty.ccp.edu/faculty/dreed...ech/atf01m.htm

Edit: Sorry, that location is for a manual! After reading Maris' post, I don't know if the autos have it or not.

In my CL there is no trans dip stick. I did get some "hesitation" from our CL which frightened me into thinking it was the transmission. I think, that because it was "new", it did disappear.

I think it may have been because the previous owner may not have used PULP. It did disappear in time.
