good lord!
car is parked on 5-10 degree downward slop and engine is warm maybe 170 degrees... and the trans fluid goes up to the first coil!

thats way to high?! what should i do?

 

the car wasnt on does it make a difference?

thats just what the dipstick read, i cleaned it off 3 times to make sure that it was really that high... what should i do?!

First of all drive it to a flat surface... as horizontal as you can... then WITH THE CAR ON PARK AND AT IDLE check the tranny fluid again... if your car engine was off it will give you a higher reading...


I have to leave now but I am sure other board members will help you from now on..

well i checked the dipstick on lvl ground and it was in the right place (my friend told me the right way to check it)

but it was doing this sluggish/knocking and all that bad stuff

what can i do i feel like its hurting my engine and i want it to go away


it usually is most comon when it is pulling like up a hill from 1000-2000 rpms but will still make the same sounds in those rpms on flat sometimes**

 

i had the same exact problem with my car, I changed the spark plugs and wires and it cured it. Now it just rips!

 

i figured that was the problem but i just have no clue as to how to change the sparks... i can only see 1 of em... and i donno how to get to it

 

its getting worse! well today it started doing it while i was accelerating downward...

 

and i just noticed i have a tranny leak

 

u are all as stumped as me

 

well i got another spark plug out, and it had a little oil on the threads would this cause these problems?

 

check the cat!!

sounds just like the problem I had. Is the cat extra hot? do you feel a normal amount of exhasut soming out the back? does the car seem quiet?

your cat may be clogged up

 

dont think its cat but how would i tell?

isnt the exahust always hot?

 

Somtimes with a badly clogged cat it will get so hot it will glow. Also you engine bay would be extra hot. But the best way to tell is if the exhasut became quieter or seems to not be flowing out of the tailpipes with normal pressure, also hit the cat a few time an see if you hear anything moving inside of it.

 

my old ones rattled when the car was runnin! u hear anything from around there when your drivin?

 

no i dont hear anythng around there... just nocking and stuff is about a little right of the pedals (engine)...

donno it only does it when the car is warm so a clogged cat will always be disfunctional wont it?
