What is the regular maintenance for an automatic trans?

Question:


Answers:

I have a 98 Chevy Malibu that is VERY difficult to shift out of park. Shifts fine once it's out of park.?

frequent tranny flushes and watch your level. assuming you don't know how to check your tranny fluid level, keep your car running and check the tranny dipstick. that's about it lol.

Why won't it go in sometimes?

fluid, filter, and pan gasket. make sure trans works before doing this, sometimes a service can mess up a trans shifting

Can you start off on 3rd gear in a manual car?

depending on the model every 30,000 miles I would drain the fluid and replace. maybe at 100,000 have the filter changed too. Other than that take it slow.

Whats the difference between snap-on tools and Blue Point?

Don't believe most manuals their service intervals are too high for the most part..

What does the "9/10" after the price per gallon of gasoline mean?


Today nearly every car on the road sees what they used to refer to as police and taxi type use ... i.e. almost always on the go lots of stopa and go driving etc.

hence the recommended oil & filter change for an auto trans is every 15,000 miles ... also do not forget if it has bands in it they need checked for their adjustment because they do wear some and need serviced at this same time

If "timing belts" are so problematic, why not go back to chains?

Does anyone know where I can get a windscreen rubber for my pre dec 1970 ford transit?


P,S. Stay away from those advertised trans flushes they do not replace/change the filter... they back wash that nasty fluid tru the trans and filter it a little and put it back...
but most of the dirt lurks in the bottom of pan only to be sucked right back into filter later and possibly can clog it
