im officially jealous... lmao nice wip XB =]
and with mine, i gotta get the transmission looked into since it likes to slips from 1-2 and 2-3 but runs good from there. im gonna go into jiffy lube and have them run through it, flush it, clean it out, put a new filter in, and refill with fluid and see if it'll fix it.. if not ill look into getting new gears for it |

If you flush it, it will be 10 times worse than it is now. Guaranteed. |

| why would it be worse?a buddy of mine who we let do all of our mechanical work said that the transmission fluid in it could be old and have shit floating in it that could be fucking with the gears and causing it to slip |

Long story short, I have two friends who have been Ford mechanics for a combined 30+ years, both say the exact same thing that the article says, the dirt and grime in the transmission fluid is actually being used for traction by the worn gears in your transmission. If you drain all of that grime out and put in new "slick" fluid, your gears will have nothing to grab onto and your transmission will slip much worse. |
