The only pic I have is my shiny engine compartment. Had a trans leak on the way home, power brakes slipping, trans acting jumpy, smoke from engine compartment, but I limped her home. Was night time, didn't have far to go. Was still leaking trans fluid when I got her home, so it did not run dry. I put a quart in as soon as I got home.
So, upon further inspection I saw some lines that rubbed on a pulley. Yeah, time to resolve that issue. I run a trans cooler, so there are multiple connections.
So, I bought 10 feet of trans line. I figured I would only need 8, but I was not going to be mad at myself for getting 2 extra feet. I am under the car with hose clamps and trans fluid running out all over my hands, felt like a doctor doimg surgery on a bleeding patient. Ran the lines in a way where they wont rub on the pulley. Got all my clamps on there. I used a smaller line than I had in the past that fits metal tubes coming off the trans better, then had to do a small to large connection, too slippery ... could not get one connection to the trans, so I put in a small to large there, with metal line between. Only way I could get a connection to the radiator.
Started the car, had to tighten one clamp, got it all leak free and then added a quart of type F, some stop leak for good measure, ran the car, still jumpy in shifting. No longer leaking, but acting funny. Check my trans fluid dipstick, dry. So it just sucked up one quart ... plus. How many more do you think I need? Did I damage the trans by driving it like 1 mile with it being low on fluid?
It's a C6.
