After tranny oil change, tranny hunting for gears!
 

I bought another 92 SVX pearly with 159K. I drained the tranny oil pan, removed the pan, installed new internal filter, put new gasket and bolted the pan back, added about 6 qts of Mobile Dexron III and Valvoline Dexron III, installed a Permacool external tranny oil filter (got rid of the OEM one), and installed a tranny oil cooler. Filter and cooler installation is correct, and have done so in my other SVX. But after doing the same on the new SVX, the tranny, after warming up, hunts for gears, lets loose, and sometimes shifts hard, and noticed that while idling in "D" the engine revs up a bit and then down in succession. How could I have messed it up? :(

Well, I added 2 quarts of Castrol Dexron ATF and it began running fine but then after warming up it did the same thing. I then added a 3rd bottle of ATF and voila!, she gave me no more hassle after that, and I had her on the road for almost an hour going up and down, back and forth. I remember that I put about 10 quarts on my first SVX and it didn't give any problems. By now I must have put like 9 or 10 quarts on the second SVX and now she runs fine as well.

I was thinking 6 quarts sounded too little but was waiting for an expert to chime in. Glad it worked out for you.

Yeah, after reading the first post I was gonna ask if he checked the fluid level on the dipstick...

Then I read the second post...
