Just wondering what does the Trans fluid does in your tank??

is it safe??

"Other things that will help are cleaning the injectors (one of the best things is to put a bout 250mls of Auto-Trans fluid in the tank next time you fill it up), between doing this and replacing the fuel filter it will make a big diference. "

Jimbo, 1000rpm idle is too high unless your engine stalls at a lower rpm (a/m cams for example maybe). Try setting it to around 700 or so and see if it gives you any issues. The lower the idle speed you can get, the better.

Teka, I have nfi what transmission fluid will do in your fuel, but whatever the alleged benefits, don't you think you would be better off buying some proper injector cleaner?

The ATF trick comes from a qualified mechanic, he says its as good as injection cleaner and works even better if they are real dirty. Ive done it on my car with no problems. If you want just use injection cleaner, ive done both.

All ATF does other then cleaning all the shit is lubricate everything

LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
