Please tell me good news.. It was fine before I had my new tires on.. I left one side up overnight and today I put up all fours.. OK so I go and drive around and I hear alot of backlash going on.. then I hear first gear sounds funny..

 

I get home as soon as I can and WTF no transmission oil.. WTF... Assuming nothing reading it's going to take a whole 3-4 qts to fill and it's almost 9 PM here...

 

Can I save the transmission????

How far did you go?

And where did the oil go?

well, seems obvious I guess but, double check you're actually seating the dipstick all the way in.

 

Dunno where the fluid went but, you really have no choice but to see if re-filling it will give you something that works.

Sorry for the rushed first post I've been out since 9 AM and just got back in now.. so it was 2 1/2 quarts low.. I don't have puddles but I can't tell if the trans leaks or my rack/pump is shot..

 

 

anyways I filled it back up it sounds better.. however I have play which sounds just like my 95 legacy I had if you say go into 3rd and just tap the throttle on and off it makes this thud sound.. lucky for me I did a video of it before I totaled the other legacy... at highway speeds the front left (btw all these sounds come from front left) it makes a whirling sound, slower speeds not so much an issue but certain turns and having the window up can make it kinda audible.

 

Give me a sec on that video

How far did you go?

And where did the oil go?

Less then two miles

Youtube video about 8 seconds in I get that same sound on this transmission.

 

 

holy crap FINALLY we can view youtube videos in the page!!!!
