TRANNY ???

[barrett86]

OK so bout 3-4 weeks ago i did a tranny flush, filled er back up and went driving got on it and like 2 seconds looked like i was batman flipping on the smoke screen. i pull over and look under my truck tranny fluid every but not out of the seal on the pan, well get it all wiped off and started driving it again romped it again to test and dunnnnananananananna batman again. it gets on my exhaust and BATMANS traffic behind me. I THINK its being pushed out the filler tube. well it stopped for awhile, and i put some more T fluid in er and spits it back out while driving, well i left it alone and every so often i romp on er and yep u guessed it BATMAN. I know also there is a tube that points to the ground that comes off the tranny housing and i found out by putting to much fluid in it that it pours out that too, well every morning i come there is a lil pool of tranny fluid in the same spot under my truck UNDER where that tube is, YTF would it be there everyday. my seals arent leaking i know it comes out of that tube, and why would i romp on it i make a smoke screen, why is fluid being pushed out the filler tube, never had this problem, ive flushed the tranny b4 and never had a problem. would this be from cold, wrong fluid, idk im at a huge loss. please help.any suggestions would help. although my tranny never slips or shifts hard at all, only rough if im not going fast enough it switches 1st to 2nd back to first its ruff, but it doesnt like that switching. lol. HELPPPP.

and when its cold or sat for awhile if i give it more than 1/4 pedal i hear clicking from what sounds like the tranny, after awhile it goes away. could it be from wrong fluid, just being cold ????

How many quarts of fluid did you put back in? What kind of fluid, what kind of tranny? Reasoning behind tranny "flush?"

 

[Broncobill78]

Bidi's right (gotta admit he's good for a young'un)

We need more info. What kind of tranny, year & engine would help. Nobody knows what it's supposed to have until we know what you've got. Was there a problem that caused you to flush or was it just annual maintenance ?

 

[barrett86]

Annual maintenance, its a 302 with a AOD tranny, which take s 12.3 quarts of fluid, i always though it takes ATF fluid. like the one that actually says ATF

ummmm yah thats about it. it doesnt do the clicking all the time and it snowed again so its too slick for me to try and romp it to see if BATMANS traffic.

 

[bidibronco]

12.3 after the torque converter or before? I've never seen anyone drain their tranny and get the fluid out of the converter before but like Broncobill said, I am a young one and I'm sure I don't know everything (don't tell anyone that, I like to think I know everything!) Other than that, the floor is yours my man!

 

[Broncobill78]

Once again Bidi scored a direct hit. If you put in 12+ qts WITHOUT draining the converter then that's your problem right there. To drain the converter you would have needed to remove the inspection plate then spun the engine by hand until the drain plug on the converter sowed up in the little window, removed the plug & then patiently waited while 6 or 7 qts slowly drained out. If you didn't do THAT then you're probably at *least* 5qts heavy.

 

[bidibronco]

Wow, I didn't know there was a drain plug on the converter... Learned something today! It's early too, can I go home now?

 

[barrett86]

damn me either, and how would i crank the engine by hand ???, lol i have another issue please go read.
