got a bunch of questions

[ShoGuy93]

Ok first off i will be basicly getting my front end re done new rack and pin and new tie rods, new strut bushings, back bushings, and cont bushings. And my bro is doing it at ford for a discounted price. now i was thinking while i am there at ford should i have them do a tranny flush?? And my overdrive switch doesn't work. i herd that the switch was like in teh tranny pan should i have them do that too? And how much does the switch cost? O and another thing should i even have the tranny flushed? I have herd if they are not well mained tained trannys that if u get them flushed u could open up a new can of worms. But my trannys was replaced ay 98K (Thats what the guy said when i bought the car at like 132K) and it now has like 139k on it. And have herd that the tranny should be flushed like every 30k . Is that right. if so i am only like 10k over when it should ahve been done. I think it has been well main tained. O and should i buy some red line or mobile one to put in there? Instead of the ford stuff?

Thanks a bunch
Brad

I have the Mobil 1 synthetic tranny fluid in mine (mtx uses atx fluid) and so far so good. From what I understand, Redline is better. Personally I would have the tranny refreshed. I have heard that same type of comment from someone regarding flushing your coolant system with the chemical fluid flush. They said that it will get rid of any build up but that build up may be preventing something from going wrong. Sounds a bit shady if you ask me. If there is something wrong in there and flushing the system lets you notice it, it was going to go soon anyway. Would you rather get it all at one shot or have to possibly pay to have the tranny done again in a little while. Guys correct me if I am wrong on anything here. I would just always rather the stuff go wrong or become noticable, while it is apart so that I can get it all done at once and not have to worry so much. Good Luck

o/d off switch wires are most likely broke off at the base of the shifter like mine and most others do. I had to rig mine up with a toggle switch.

 

[ShoGuy93]

but how many quarts of oil does the tranny take?? is it like 4 or 5?

Brad, it all depends on if ALL the tranny fluid gets drained. It is about five I belive. It tells you in the owners manual. There is a specification chart in the back for lubricants. It will tell you how many to get. Good Luck

Brad,
It was about $150 dollars just for the redline fluid to do my flush. I ordered 15 quarts from summitracing.com just to be sure. spmotorsports has better prices, however..
