Title: automatic gearbox clean and replacement valvoline
Post by: jimjimanta on 18 January 2015, 14:50:55

I have an Opel omega 1998' 2.0 with automatic gearbox.
before I had 60,000 kilometers perform service in general, and I had changed the gear oil in gearbox , with original gm valvoline.
When you go to around 50-60 km/h , remove the speed and puts dead (N) ....
after the 70-80 km/h is all ok .


I believe is due to VALVOLINE.
I want to replace the VALVOLINE and cleaning the gearbox with someone special product.

what to advise and what brand Valvoline  ?

Is there any guide for this task, the site also, to read;

Did you check and top up the gearbox level with the engine running? Otherwise, the fluid level will be low and this might have caused your problem.

Was the oil a DEXRON 3 oil?

I think I'd be inclined to check the level is OK before doing anything else.
