Hello,
I have had the car for 30 years, and had the engine and gearbox totally refurbished six years ago. Last week i topped up the gearbox with approximately 200 ml to a water of a liter. Unfortunately yesterday i realised it jumped out of second gear when it was still cold - neto the first shifts, but after 800 meter where we turn left. Found the gear, and drove around 8 kilometers without problems.
Since i never just go along but rather check before doing too much stupid, i realised to my hour, that the oil i purchased and topped up with is Dextron based. I have never ever used it before - it was only because i was out of the old bottles.
Will you kindly advise what to do now. I have read on the forum that oil change is needed, no problem, but do i have to use 8 x 4 = litres to come further? And if yes, how is it done. Change oil, out and drive, in on the lift etc for four times? (very costly in oil )
