Went to rausch creek this weekend and overheated my transmission and the fluid was black, shut it off and was pulled back to camp. I let it cool off and i drained it ( apparently only about half comes out due to the torque converter).
Threw in some cheap ATF and it appeared to shift fine and had no problems and the way home doing 70.
talking with some other xj guys they said it was a good idea to go cheap on the atf, as i should drain it and refill it when I got home. they said use royal purple ATF and get a tranny cooler. surprisingly, many guys didnt have a cooler either. I had never had a problem before, but it was kind of stupid not to have the $30 part. they also said to drop the pan and replace the filter when i drained it again.
My question is: should I get the old stuff fully flushed out at AMCO or something? I was doing some research and i read some stuff about flushes being bad if you have over 100k miles and have never had a flush. I have 156K miles.
And if I do get it flushed, can i give them the royal purple to put in?
Thanks for any help.
