Post subject:  AAMCO Trans flush
Had my trans flushed and provided the trans filters to be changed at AAMCO last week @60k. Since then I've noticed a harder shift when coming to a stop, it's been more frequent in past 4 days. Never had an issue before. They said they'll take a look but trans flush wouldn't have caused this. Suggestions??

Make sure they used ATF+4 only and not DEXIII with a additive.

Yes... when I was serving my sentence in FL, I had a trans flush done when I had a regear and the shop did exactly that. I had to have another on before moving back here to clear the cripe out.

Jerks.

Checked the trans fluid appears to be low, but hard to read without dye the top 2 spots for HOT didn't have fluid. Haven't been able to experience the hard shift in past 2 days so it's odd. Gonna drop it off tomorrow and have them take a second look.
They had another KJ in the shop at the same time I took mine in. I would hate to think that I'd have to specifically tell a trans shop what fluid is required for a late model domestic vehicle.

most likely it needs the quick learn done, because new fluid as a different viscosity. the clutch pressures are used to the old fluids viscosity. it will correct itself after about 500 miles if the quick learn is not done! mike :pepper:

You do, I found tranny shops all want to use Dextron. They must all read the same literature that says Dex is universal for any tranny. I took mine to a shop for the first tranny service and they flat out said they wouldn't use anything but Dex, not even if I brought in the ATF+4 myself.

Needless to say, I didn't leave it with them, Serviced it myself.

Make sure your insurance is paid and drive it through their front door, pure mechanical failure :jester:

Start by checking the fluid level to make sure that's correct. Make sure the KJ has been running for 20 minutes or so. On a level surface, put your emergency brake on, and put the transmission in neutral to check.

If the level is a little low, I notice my KJ shifts a little rougher than it should.


Kudos yellocoyote was right on. Fluid was low as suspected. AAMCO topped it off and I haven't had this issue continue. Thanks again LOST
