    Burst Uptake Pipe in Transmission.

    Well here's my first cry for help with the desert freebie named 'Frank' by the 1st owners (3rd owner now).
    Frank's transmission doesn't engage so I've pulled the tranny sump off and the uptake pipe has burst with a little spring poking out.
    I haven't figured how to up load photos, but I sure you get it.
    Would I be wasting my time pulling another tranny apart, swapping out both pipes and flushing Penrite Trans fluid through it again?
    There are lots of chunky bits next to the magnet.
    Thoughts?

    Also, can anyone tell me how they undid the nut on a sump that has a filler and dipstick on it.
    Big hands, big arms in a tiny, tiny place to maneuver???

    I use a little heat, a big spanner and a little gentle persuasion with a hammer combined with all the mechanics words.

    not sure what you're meaning by the uptake pipe.

    I an referring to the pipe that is connected to the transmission filter.
    It is made of some kind of bakerlite plastic and is completely warped and looks like it had been for some years.
    The one I just pulled off the wrecked Disco is aluminium (I think) and doesn't have a one way valve like the old one.

    you mean the suction tube..

    its not bakerlite its a nylon/plastic derivitive. if its gone to a bakerlite type situation the box has had the wrong oil in it and its been cooked.

    So, I managed to swap out a sump with a filler (but no dipstick) and used the filter and suction pipe (from the wreck) with the intentions of changing the tranny fluid again in two weeks with the new filter. o/rings and sump gasket.
    I was told by the Repco dude that I'd needed 9.1L of fluid and after trying have only have managed 7ish which is flowing out of the unplugged dipstick.
    Is this too much fluid? I found a dipstick from a random 4WD and plugged it with the help of some thong rubber.

    Frank now moves forward but not reverse. The forward thing is completely random (2 minutes or 10 minutes of driving) and you can cycle through 1-D in H or L.
    Feels like there is pressure and then nothing with the thoughts of torque converter issues or am I looking at XYZ issues?

    9.1l is the dry refill volume. the torque convertor is always halfish full with about 2-3l in it.


    with the condition you've described the box in you could have sticking solenoids, dodgy electrics, pump issues, TC issues...

    I'd be wanting to pull the box down

    You'll be lucky to get 5l in at a change, as Dave said the TC and lines hold almost half.
    I tend to do three drop and fills to get rid of the old fluid.
    Four would be better.
    It's straight dilution of the old oil with multiple changes.

    Logic states that the box needs to come out but out here there is only one garage (Umuwa) or a tow to Alice Springs.
    With all the bush mechanics out here I'm sure it could be done on the dirt but as I'm not sure just what I'm in for I'll keep tinkering.
    Also, I have just given notice with my employer so my stint with Frank maybe short lived.

    I'm going to drop 1000mls and just see what happens over a couple of days and hope for the best.
    I also have the 3 Amigos to deal with and looking at the bypass as the simplest solution (after inspecting the connections) as I don't have diagnostic tools or a manual.

    Apart from that, Frank has been well looked after by the first owners. Underneath and engine has had some money spent on it.
    It's a shame the young male nurse that's currently had it hasn't been as forgiving and has tried to drive it like a modern 4WD.

    I'd just collected rock sliders, a steel rear bumper and a budget 2" lift kit from two other wrecks to dress old Frankie up a bit.

    That's for the feedback
