Has anyone else had their transmission fail (automatic)after having it flushed???

Answer 1

That is exactly why we don't do flushes on vehicles with over 80k. People need to flush their transmissions at the recommended intervals. Transmission fluid is a high detergent fluid. As it ages, it stops cleaning the transmission and is saturated with clutch linings, this is what turns the fluid dark. When you flush the transmission, you put more detergent in the system and it tries to remove clumps of crap and lodges it somewhere else. This can raise pressures in the system and cause severe damage.

Had this happen to a car and the planet gear set blew up within 5,000 mile of a flush.

If it has been a long time since the last time the trans was flushed, just leave it alone.

Answer 2

what usually happens is when they flush it it loosens up alot of sludge inside the transmission that doesn't get flushed away. Instead it gets mixed in with the new fluid which cycles through the transmission and gets its self stuck in one of the gears, causing the transmission to work harder to shift, ultimately blowing out the tranny.

Answer 3

The 2002 Cavalier books says, substitute at 50,000 extreme situations or 100,000 established period. no longer sensible the position you acquire that information because I actually have it perfect right here in my hand? The e book does element out the guide transmission does no longer favor to be serviced.

Answer 4

very common the old oil had alot of metal and grit which gave the clutch mechanism ability to have traction the new oil is slippery and will cause slippage, alot of used cars are sold with sawdust or other abrasives added just to sell the vehicle

Answer 5

That used to happen alot on older vehicles that had poor to zero scheduled maintenance done

Answer 6

many shops will not work on tranys with 100,000or more miles because of the loose crap floats around and wrecks it. good luk

Answer 7

Did they or you happen not to put oil back in or something else?
