009 3 speed transmission problem
mjwcookie - January 11th, 2012 at 10:11 PM

Hi all. I have an 89 t25 with a 009 3 speed auto. i think is needs a rebuild soon, but wonder the cost and if there is another fix first. problem is this.

when cold starting, and put into reverse and to a lesser extent drive, wont move. takes a few minutes to warm up and i think build up pressure before it will move. when cold in park makes a whining noise that goes along into reverse.

When warmed up all is good. I have changed the fluid four times and it is better. running an additive that is supposed to help the seals etc, but i dont have any experience in autos, so not sure if it does anything much. Since using the additive, fuel economy is slightly better, as is power.

Is this a complicated fix or reco. and what would be approx cost.

Thanks.

Mark
