Replacing Tranny and S/C fluid.

Two questions in this one:

1. This may be how the car drives, but when im driving the car and give it some gas, it will hang at 4500+ RPM. It takes a few seconds to shift into the next gear and it seams the higher the rpm it is, the longer it takes to shift. Its very annoying. Will replacing the tranny fluid help me at all? Maby my tranny fluid is old? Also none the less the car has no performance increase (stock) from 4500 rpm to red line. Where on the other hand my bro's GTO will rock out the higher RPM you are at(bad example I know...) I think mods will fix this for me :)

2. What tool can I make/buy at a store to get the S/C oil out? Im having trouble finding a large syringe to take it out. Any reccomendations would be nice, as its sunday and I have some free time :D Also how will I know the S/C is full of oil when I replace it? (<----Noob)

Thanks!


*EDIT* This looks like a good tutorial : http://www.paulstravelpictures.com/GTP-Supercharger-Oil-Change/index.html

gear oil in the sc works. Have not tried it personally but will be within the next week or so. Street wolf on the other hand has been running it for some time. A lot cheaper. Half the price twice as much lol.
 
Ha, I think I will play it safe and just go with the GM S/C oil. Ill pick it up one of these days from the dealer. I have to change my engine oil too.... >:|

How do you reset the oil life gauge on the display?
 


I would stick with the GM SC oil only at this time personally.

If you cant find a "sucker" to suck out your supercharger oil, I have a few syringe kits left if you would like one. Still only $5.00 shipped to your door.

Tranny...if you have never changed your fluid and filter, it might be a good time for a pan drop filter fluid change. That could help...don't know for sure though, but it wouldn't hurt.

I might hit you up on that deal. Would the spray bottle work though? It looks very ghetto but should get the job done. What do you think?
 
Mission successful. Replaced S/C fluid and check tranny fluid. The tranny fluid is still pink/red. I think im in the clear :)

Also the S/C oil STINKS
 


^Did that today as a matter of fact.


Had to watch it go around-and-around on the front tire for quite a while too. :th_shakinghead1:

one time at band camp I changed my rear end (smells worse imo)oil in the mustang. Got it all over my t-shirt. then made the mistake of washing that shirt with a load of laundry. You would have sworn I had everything on that was in the wash when that oil got on me lol.

Yeah, gear oil smells bad. But SC oil just plain stinks. I can handle gear oil. But SC oil makes me want to puke.
