The end of travel screech is fluid flowing over the relief valve, kind of a different thing from the Ford pump which kind of inherently just whines because of how it's designed.

Real fix is to weld the sprockets before they fail. The Ford solution (even though they offer one where they say there really isn't a defect) is to use green Loctite.

You mean the TFL videos on their Defender? First one made it 160 miles before developing a terminal engine fault. Second one didn't leave the dealership, the workshop guy cut through an apparently unobtanium wiring loom while trying to fit a winch. The third one seems ok, but still flashed up a suspension fault the first time they turned it on.

Working on automatic transmissions really is voodoo to do it right, he gets so many that have been completely hosed up by other shops and he points out every way someone else screwed it up. Lots of shoddy work out there and "techs" that don't know what the gently caress they're doing and/or don't care.

Applebees Appetizer posted:This is why you don't put additives in a transmission  I kinda have Lucas Transmission Fix in mine. It definitely firmed up the shifts (which were sloppy as gently caress - it still slips briefly when put in a forward gear until given a bit of gas), but I was thinking it's more because it's so drat thick. It took 15 minutes to get a quart of it in.

It's an 03. It got significantly better after new fluid + filter + Lucas, to the point that it only does it on the first drive of the day now. I've had it a bit over a year. If it does die,  $1800 Subaru with working AC/heat/heated seats.

Yeah guess it's not big deal on a car like that that's on it's way out anyway, might as well put some zipties on it (in this case additive) to get some more miles out of it before it goes to scrap. If you plan on keeping a car or truck tho, it looks like transmission additives are not the answer even as a temporary fix, it will just make the repair even more expensive.

After we overheated the transmission and blew all the ATF out of it by hauling a ton of bricks in a ZJ, my buddy and I filled his transmission with Lucas stop-leak. Kept that sucker running for another couple years. The free ZJ owned by a teenager wasn't getting its tranny rebuilt ever though.

In the video, he mentions that there’s a right way to use seal-swelling additives: put them in, let them run for a few hundred miles, and then flush the fluid, to get the additive out. The seals swell and soften a bit but don’t get to the ridiculous extreme he’s showing off in that video.

The only transmission additive that's worth fooling with is Lubegard. Goofy name, but great product. Supposed to be at least partly a synthetic substitute for the sort of compounds found in sperm whale oil - which was used in automatic transmission fluids up until hunting whales was outlawed. https://www.lubegard.com/products/red/

Who else is going to know that? Like I said if you have a vehicle you like and actually want to keep just get the drat thing fixed and don't use additives. I had to get rid of a Miata because the PO doused it with coolant stop leak a hundred loving times rather than just getting the drat leak fixed. poo poo was caked like sludge through the entire cooling system and was a loving mess.

TBH I only expected this car to last a year or so. I bought it last October, so as far as I'm concerned, I'm doing good. It's rough enough overall that when the transmission does go, it's getting scrapped. Until then it's getting the absolute bare minimum in maintenance (oil changes once or twice a year, keeping fluids topped off, etc). It starts shifting pretty sloppy when the transmission is good and hot (hot days + beating on it), but aside from the occasional flare when upshifting, and being a bit sluggish to catch drive/reverse when it's cold, it's driving fine. CEL is on, but on an older Subaru you should just treat that as the "ignition switch is on" light. (P0420 smoke trees every day).

Lucas transeal has two uses in the world: drowning a failing transmission in it so it shifts right just before you offload the vehicle on some poor dumb fucker who doesnt know any better (for reference, I was the dumb fucker, not the lying rear end in a top hat in the transaction) and neat in a power steering pump to keep from replacing a leaking rack & pinion.

That reminds me of the time I went to change the oil on our Lexus for the first time not realizing it holds 9 loving QUARTS of oil. The drain plug was on the side of the pan, so once the plug came out all the pressure of 9 FUCKIN QUARTS of oil sent a horizontal stream of oil shooting right over the drain pan and onto the driveway. And then also overflowed the container I had that already had 4 quarts in it. Went through a lot of kitty litter that day

The pipe does not seal that tight, but that was way more volume that would be displaced by the tube going into the can. At the end, it looks like he is closing a valve or removing an air line or something.

IIRC they have an airline connection that pressurises the barrel so you get oil flowing out a dump pipe to your main waste oil tank, that's how you empty it when full. I think while investigating air going out the intake, he dropped the intake tube so the bottom of it was below the level of the oil remaining in the pressurised barrel, thus creating an easy escape path for it to jizz everywhere.

All the ones i've used had a big ball valve on the top of the tank so you raise the drain pan up above the valve, close it, and then apply shop air to push oil out the drain tube. Looks like maybe that ones doesn't have a valve so he needs to raise the pan way up and then be really gentle with air pressure to keep oil from spraying out the top?

where I worked, our shop had an air powered diaphragm pump, that you hooked up to the bottom, which sucked all the old oil out into the disposal tank. no pressurization nonsense needed. which is good, because I'm not sure some of the people I worked with could have handled a complex procedure like "close this valve before you pressurize".
