Dealer claims the car uses a special type iv fluid which it does but they claim it takes 14 to 16 quarts. According to the repair manual for the vehicle it only take 3.2 quarts. They also claim they have to use a special machine to clean the interior of the transmission. Is this true and does it really take 14 to 16 quarts of transmission fluid?
The cleaning is by flushing. DO NOT LET THEM FLUSH YOUR TRANNY! It will do nothing but damage the tranny.
For as fluid. the 3.2 quarts is if you dont drain the torque converter. If you drain the converter then it will take about 14 to 16 quarts.
The reason i say do not let them flush the tranny is because they force the fluid backwards through the system and that will damage it. Also if the tranny is almost on its last "leg" and you may not know it. Then all that will do is speed the process up.
