i purchased this car a month ago for a winter beater (4 month car then sell) dont want to invest anything.
i have a tranny that was originally leaking from overflow valves on top after 10 minutes of winter driving. i replaced the tranny pan it was dented slightly restricting the intake. this thing is definately still overheating, but i dont see lots of oil on the ground. or cannot notice it as much after my tranny flush. its been a steady -10 celcius so that may be helping me on short trips.
UPDATE: NEW OVER HEAT PROBLEMS.
after driving for 30 minutes the engine temperature gauge will spike to redline for about 10 seconds and the high temp low pressure gauge lights up. again after 10 seconds its back to normal.
i have searched posts, but have yet to hear an identical case or concrete solution. Im debating replacing thermostat and flushing rad, but not sure if its both coolant and tranny coolers or just the tranny. Maybe i have a clogged tranny line, ect not sure how to proceed. help appreciated!
