Trans got hot and sprang a leak. I changed filter, gasket and put in dex/merc. (trans calls for Mercon V) Noticable sludge in magnet but no pieces. Fluid smelled bad.
After 20 mi experienced 2-3 shift flare and no reverse. Once cold again trans operates normally. Truck is parked pending diagnosis and solution.
Do I: Use ODB2 scanner
- flush trans with Mercon V
- re-do pan drop and add drain plug
- add external screw-on filter and/or cooler
Is it possible that I blew the 2-3 o-rings if the problem is limited to when trans is hot?
How do I check for plugged vent tube?
