Guest aseanj52 Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 I was low on transmission fluid so I put some in, and i think i put in to much. Everything feels bogged down like the engine doesn't have enough power to do anything. Which I know isn't true because the engine in bored and stroked....so even more power then stock. But I want to take some fluid out. So how do i do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyBoy Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 take the pan off and drain it all, or take a tube, stick it down the filler tube, and suck some out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of tube we talking? Like a bunch of straws taped together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infkt Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 just undo the drain screw, let some out and save the oil that comes out. if you let to much out refill it to the right level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyBoy Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 What kind of tube we talking? Like a bunch of straws taped together? a piece of tubing you can buy at a store. like 1/4" id just undo the drain screw, let some out and save the oil that comes out. if you let to much out refill it to the right level not all cars have a drain plug for the tranny.

str86diesel Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 just undo the drain screw, let some out and save the oil that comes out. if you let to much out refill it to the right level There is no drain plug on the Dodges. Chevyboy's right. Undo the bolts and drop the pan. All of the fluid will then start splashing out One piece of info you might need to know. By dropping the pan, keep in mind that this only dumps the fluid in the pan. You still have fluid in your TC and lines. So just be aware that you are not getting rid of all of the fluid, so that you don't overfill it.

BackYardSoundZ Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 You can make it easier next time and drill a hole in the lowest part of the pan and weld a nut on the inside of it and you have yourself a drain plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
