I won't bore everyone with a play-by-play, but the kit includes a new stiffer separator plate with gaskets, and three new valves-the pressure regulator valve, torque converter clutch valve and one that goes into the pump assembly.
#TWISTIT MOTORS AND TRANSMISSION INSTALL#
Only a small progress update, I've pulled the solenoid body to install a TransGo shift kit, since I had the thing accessible and open already. I'll see if I can remember to document anything memorable I come across during this fiasco to help others who may try this for some reason.įeel like I'm talking to myself here, but what the hell, it might be helpful to someone in the future. I'm not really looking forward to this, I generally avoid transmission work like the plague, but the wife needs a car, and I need a wife, so little choice this time.
If so, I guess I'll be doing a little bellhouse swapping as well. Has anyone here actually swapped between these models before and have any gotchas or advice of problems I need head off? I thought maybe bolt patterns could be problem.
Maybe slightly different final gear ratios, I think the 1.6 had a slightly lighter torque converter, but for the most part I don't see any real issues. Potential difficulty: My recipient vehicle is a 2.5L. They happen to have a 2013 1.6L model with an intact 6F35, which I will wrenching away with, assuming my back doesn't give out, for all of $102.95 for the whole transmission w/ converter. So, I'm heading on down to my 2nd favorite place on earth, ye olde Pull-a-part. In the meantime, I don't have several grand lying around to procure a proper refurbished and warranteed replacement and the excessive labor they'll charge me to install. The oil cooler will be taken out back and shot soon. He died with a frothy milkshake that used to be fresh tranny fluid pouring out of him. And the final insult was when that bastard secondary oil cooler (the little one always hiding in the back of the engine bay with that stupid coolant bypass valve that likes to make trouble) decided to put him out of his misery by flooding him with coolant. I did my best to save it, changed his fluids, fed him all the Lucas transmission fix it could take, replaced a solenoid when it seemed to be losing TCC pressure, but in the end his poor torque converter couldn't take it anymore, it was losing its slip fast. This outlet hose returns the coolant to the system when the engine cools.The wife's tranny has died. The expansion tank has an outlet hose which is connected into the coolant circuit. The increased coolant volume, created by heat expansion, is directed to the expansion tank through a bleed hose from the top of the radiator.
#TWISTIT MOTORS AND TRANSMISSION FULL#
When the thermostat opens fully, the full flow of coolant passes through the radiator.Ĭoolant is also drawn through the liquid cooled transmission fluid cooler and the liquid cooled alternator housing by the coolant pump via the coolant circuit. Coolant is able to circulate through the engine and the passenger compartment heater matrix via a thermostat bypass.Īs the temperature increases the thermostat begins to open, allowing cool fluid to be drawn from the radiator bottom hose through the pump and into the cylinder block and hot coolant to flow from the coolant pump housing to the radiator via the radiator top hose, where it is cooled by air passing through the matrix.
When the engine is cold, the thermostat is closed and coolant is prevented from circulating through the radiator. With the engine running, the coolant pump pulley is driven by an ancillary drive belt.
