slipping

hey guys just a question you guys ever had your manual trans slip after changing the fluid to brand new fluid? i havent changed it yet, just curious

 

Changing fluid should not cause this but weird things can happen.

Only the clutch can slip but if one had a major bearing failure causing enough movement gears no longer can mesh it could slip .

At that time it very well might sound like a box of marbles in a dryer .

No most often a slipping clutch means worn Mechanical parts.

Failed Hydraulics more of a failure to go into gear.

 

Oh damn thanks for the info because i think the person i bought it from didnt change the trans for awhile if ever. You think i should change it and see what happens? My trans shifts perfectly

 

When I get another 4x4 all the gear box fluids get changed and the rest of the fluids

Anything not looked at real close before the purchase gets inspected

 

There's a service internal. Follow it, or don't.

 

Manual transmissions aren't like autos where if the fluid hasn't been changed in 150k miles it might damage the transmission to change it.

With a manual you can change it and not worry about that. In fact it I would highly recommend it even if it feels fine...gear oil breaks down over time/miles and should be changed.

 

I've never had a slipping issue after changing the oil, only time I've experienced slip is when the clutch is starting to go bad and after a day of offroading through mud. Clutch slipped for a day or two after that but eventually worked fine again, can only guess that mud got into where it shouldn't be

 

Not sure what you meant but what ever .

 

He means the factory service interval for the manual transmission oil change, I think it's every 50k? Don't quote me on that. I usually do mine around 30k just because.

 

There isn't anything in a manual that can slip. It either works or it doesn't. The oil is just there for lube and cooling.

 

Someone with moderator rights has moved my posts around. I don't know why that was done and that's really not something that should be done.

I never posted to this thread. Nor is the post that is quoted in my post related to my reply.

 

okay sounds great! i am at 114k miles and i will do the oil changes for the trans and differential this weekend. time to give the baby some TLC

 

Shouldn’t affect it. May be clutch? May be worth bleeding the slave cylinder

 

In any case my point was When I get another 4x4 Having no record of what if any service was ever done I just change the fluids the important word is I .

After all the quicky mart service can leave something to be desired and some figure as long as nothing breaks why service anything.

 

this very thing has happened to i on a few occasions, it got moved/merged to somewhere else that i had no access to

 

somebody on TW claims to have over 400k and 24 years without ever changing any gear oils and it works just fine to this day
i think it is 30k or 50k depending on use
used to be $20 or so to change (30yrs ago) now its north of $100 is crazy

 

forreal, i saw the high end gear oil and its like 20 bucks a pop but damn its for our babies tho lol.

 

Redline MT90 and be done.
