well the tib rolled over the big 60 laugh.gif:

anyways I've already replaced all the belts, timing, a/c, alt, power. is there anything else that would be suggested? plugs were replaced about 15k ago so those shouldn't need it yet.

edit:

I'll make a list:
1. all belts (check )
2. coolant flush
3. engine flush
4. clean intake system
5. plugs/wires (previously checked)

 

flushing out the coolant would be something to be done. i think thats recommended every 30.

what about tranny fluid?

i'm ALMOST at 60k...

 

hehe new tranny at 50k, so i think that should be good. changing it to synthetic soon anyways, have to mobil 1 gear oil in the garage now. laugh.gif:

what all is involved in a coolant flush besides draining the rad. how do you flush the rest of the system?

....oh, maybe an oil flush the next time I do a change. probably next weekend.

edit: hehe, saw the sig, IT'S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!!!! ah a classic.

 

well... flushing is kinda touchy cuz i hear if you put too much water pressure through, you could make a small problem very worse. cracked head... etc.

 

On auto trannies, how much fluid is needed if you change filter and drop tranny pan?

I need to do 60k service too ;/

 

^^^
I'm pretty sure it says at HMAService.com , and in your handbook.

 

I know that, Im not that dumb... I was wondering if anyone knew the exact (or close to) fill amount if you just drop the pan? Theres still fluid in the converter and spread through the tranny, so you cant fill it with 6 1/2 quarts..

 

Heres what I did

Oil Change
Spark plugs/ Wires
Drain and Replace coolant
Changed brake Fluid
belts
Timing Belt
air filter
Fuel Filter
Changed Tranny oil

 

The things i´d do...............

change Brake fluid
Auto tranny ( replace filter and oil )
sparks wires and plugs.....
timing belt
fuel filter
go to clean the chasis and engine
change the brake pads ( if is needed )
replace the steering wheel fluid...
and maybe, just maybe.... put a turbo!....lol


Is there a automatic tranny oil but I mean syntetic???... what brand??

thanks
