RE: Check Transmission Message
Thanks for the feedback. I had the tranny serviced about 4 months ago at the dealer where we have bought all of Continentals. The fluid is still clean. The “tech” that did it had problems with a PLUGGED tranny cooler. Or that's what he was telling the serovce advisor at any rate. It took an extra day, but they "fixed” the plug and exchanged fluid with the hi-tech machine they use. Personally, I like the way we can change tranny fluid inn the Marks better.
The noise it generates is a mild form of 1-2 accumulator vibration that we hear in our un-updated Marks. It's almost like a fine tooth gear being applied to a playing card -- it happens at the 2-3 transition and lasts only about 1/4 of a second (measured with a Butt-O-Meter timer.)
I've treated the tranny with Lucas to see if it helps any. Lucas solved the residue noise HOTLNC had.
