Hello all
First post here. I have heard of this forum (fairly notorious actually) and I have read certain threads.
Anyway, my question is in regards to the title.
We got this car at 84k miles from Hertz used car sales, and now its at 135k miles. I do not know the service history, but it was a Hertz fleet car so it must have been serviced. But I don't know if the trans was serviced, or what fluids.
I have done 2 drain and fills of the transmission with Redline D6 (at 125k and 128k), and the old fluid was very dark brown/black with lots of detritus on the magnets on the first DF with pan drop + clean + filter. No pan drop on the 2nd DF. The trans holds 6.9 quarts of fluid so it now has roughly 75% new Redline D6 fluid.
When the car is hot, and say I get off and on the freeway while its still hot, when accelerating pretty quickly back onto the freeway it has some transmission slippage, or a gear is not fully engaging quick enough, maybe 2 to 3 or 3 to 4.
I read a thread here about adding some racing Redline ATF to help with slip agent problems.
I was just wondering if anyone has advice for fixing this slipping problem, besides going back to Toyota OEM WS atf fluid. I know I can always do that.
What about Maxlife ATF, does it also have slip problems like Redline D6? what about Redline D4? Also, since my trans only has 6.9 quart capacity, how much of the racing redline should be added given I have about 75% Redline D6 in it already? Thanks for any help
