SOURCE: gearbox oil

there is a pan at the bottom of the transmission that you can drain the fluid from.... you'll need to get a new gasket and it's a good idea to change the filter at the same time. usually you can buy that in a kit that includes both... most automatics don't have a drain hole. but be aware that you have to make sure that that is the correct transmission fluid for the tranny.
also realize that draining the pan and changing the filter is good maintenance but there is still a large amount of flud in the torque converter and transmission cooler.

I'm not sure how advisable it would be to mix the two types of fluid

changing the filter might be a better option... also when you do that there is a small magnet in the pan ... it catches any small metalic flakes as the bands wear.
and while you have the pan off you can adjust the bands... you'll need a manual to make suire that is done properly... that is if that transmission requires adjustment.... as far as i know the new electronic transmissions don't need to be adjusted.

SOURCE: does a mazda 323f 2001 model need gearbox oil

Automatic and standard transmission needs fluid change every 24 months. On automatic transmissions, the gasket needs to be changed as well as the filter. On standard transmission there is a drain plug that can be loosened up, and refilled through the refill hole. Standard transmission use gear oil, while automatic transmission uses automatic transmission fluid.

SOURCE: I have oil leaking from

on line, auto zone has a o ring for oil cooler at a reasonable cost. if the cooler is contaminated or corroded it needs replaced. if you need one, go online for the best deal. for it cools the oil for the engine. let them know at auto zone, and they should be able to advise you. car dealerships are a big ripoff. a fan blows air on engine oil cooler for disipation off heat. this is important to regulate the tempurature of the oil. have a very good day !!

99 saab auto 9-3 auto gearbox stops working when car warms up I did have coolant in gearbox prior empty oil and replace new oil 3 times was ok

I assume that you replaced the radiator, or had the trans cooler replaced, since that is how coolant gets into the trans. If this is what happened, the coolant becomes emulsified with the trans fluid, it caused a major mess inside the transmission. Just changing the fluid is not the fix. You will either have to have the trans removed, disassembled, and thoroughly cleaned and rebuilt,or replace it.

E270 CDI Auto. Gearbox oil contaminated with engine coolant. ( 140,000 miles ) What would be the cheapest remedy ?

You could have 2 issues,Either the radiator has cracked therefore letting transmission fluid into the coolant or the head/head gasket is bad.If the car overheats,blows white smoke from the exhuast id say look at the head,if not it may be the radiator,let me kmow.

Is it posible for the transmission atf to leak inside the radiator. because i dettect water inside the transmission and oil in the radiatorssion smission

Yes.
most cars have a transmission cooler that runs through the radiator. Most often the coolant goes from the cooling system to the transmission and then quickly ruins the transmission..
you should get this fixed asap, hopefully you can avoid a transmission failure. A quick remedy would be to un hook the transmission cooling lines from the radiator then cap the ends on the radiator and then mount a separate transmission cooler.
The big problem is that you will need to flush that transmission as soon as you can. Get the trans oil changed pronto!

Hi, i have automatic passat 1999 model and recently water happens to get into the gear box and it control board, i experiences a boom sound anytime the gear is changed, the oil has been changed by the...

If no external leak and the transmission fluid colour looks white, the problem belongs to the automatic gearbox oil cooler. The oil cooler has broke mixing the gearbox oil and coolant causing this milkshake. It's a small radiator core type oil / water heat exchanger. It is cracked inside and transmission oil is mixed with engine coolant. Because the transmission oil pressure is greater than engine coolant pressure, the transmission fluid level drops. See also the coolant colour inside recovery coolant reservoir inder bonnet! It could be like this:

Why is the gearbox oil leaking in to the radiator

The radiator usually has a cooler in it for your transmission. The cooler is made of either aluminium or brass. When your coolant gets older it may allow heat and corrosion to start to damage some of the more delicate materials in your coolant system. It sounds like you either need to have the radiator completely replaced or if you have a radiator shop close buy, check the price on getting it rebuilt.

Mazda bravo blowing white smoke

With regards to the above problem, I have just recently experienced the exact same thing with a 98 Mazda Bravo b2500 (this is a diesel).The symptoms were after driving over some corrugated dirt roads the vehicle would not rev over 2000 rpm and at that point would blow heaps of white smoke and misfire, but would idle beautifully and rev smoothly up to the 2000 rpm. Also noticed when vehicle was cold it would drive good for about 5-10 mins then symptoms would start again.

Fuel filters were changed, sediment trap cleaned,different fuel tried and checked all lines and system for air entry, problem still persisted. While checking injector pump lift pump pressure I noticed that the pressure would drop right off at the 2000 rpm, maybe a lift pump problem?? After consulting the workshop manual I found there is a small stainless steel thimble filter under the injector pump fuel line input union bolt, held in place with a small spring. Pulled this out to have a look and it was full of crud, cleaned it all up and put back together and have a guess what......goes like a brand new truck!!

Cheers
