transmission

Hope everyone has been surviving the last year we'll! Few days ago, ended up buying a 2003 W8 Blue Spirit Pearl wagon with 160k, for a steal. I know it's infamous history and all the negative stigmas around them, but for the price I didn't mind buying a toy (another toy**) The car drove...

I have a 1998 1.8t 5 speed, it's was an abandoned project and I took it over. Had to replace brake master, slave and some switches, a goofy hydraulic line from the fluid res to the trans, This hydraulic hose will not stay put. As it builds pressure it just pops out. I see nothing broken maybe...

Hi, does anyone have any pictures or know of a resource online with images showing what needs to be disconnected from the automatic transmission prior to removal? I am taking the engine out with the transmission. Driveshafts are off, just need to locate where everything else needs to be...

The lines from the transmission to the cooler in the radiator were damaged. They were cut where they cross under the radiator. I took off the lines before marking which one goes where on the transmission. I assume that it would make a difference as to where the fluid enters the cooler? Any...

Hi everyone, Although, I replaced the o rings on the transmission cooling lines at the radiator connection, a bit of fluid is still leaking. I believe it is the radiator side that has the problem. So, I decided to install an external transmission cooler, bypassing the radiator. Does anyone...
