has anyone ever heard the noise that would be made from a car that is driving with virtually no automatic transmission oil? Is it a really loud churning noise?cheers

 

No oil = no running. Needs gearbox oil to go.

what if your driving and you have a hole in the box and its leaking and leaking, im sure itll run for a bit, i want to know for that minute or however long it will run what noise it will make. If anyone has had first hand experience with this let me know

I know that you'd be an idiot to drive with a smashed and leaking box and that it will be slipping etc etc, my question is simple, if anyone has heard that noise and can describe it to me could you please do so

cheers

No. I've tried to drive a car with little to no transmission fluid. It didn't make any funny noises or smoke, it just didn't move until I put enough in it.

If your transmission is making noise then there is definitely something wrong.

Low to no trans fluid -

It will make a grindy noise, it will feel like a slipping clutch, it will stop, it will not start if it is empty or too low. It will not change through gears.

It will NOT blow smoke.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
