It is not the proper tools that are needed it is the expertise and knowledge. If you do not know what you are doing, take it to a professional.
Yes they are you need a few tools not to hard to get they will cost about 100-300$
Some parts that are needed for transmission rebuild include, rubber lip seals, O rings, pan gaskets, metal clad seals, and more. Most of these items are included in a transmission rebuild kit.
yes there is a special socket with little prongs on it i dont have tool/part number on hand its at work
Depends on what needs to be done. Pricing can range from $400 to $4000, what is needed is very specific.
Have your transmission flushed.($120-140) My 87 Accord did the same thing. Unfortunately, it needed a rebuild a year later. Good luck. Is level low?
With doing a complete drain and fill, the capacity is 10 quarts. If only doing a filter change, the amount needed is 7.4 quarts.
I have a Lumina too and most commonly its 3 coil packs
The internal workings of the transmissions are very complex. I suggest if you have the knowledge to at least pull the trans, to do that & either take it to a shop to rebuild or exchange for one already rebuilt (or a used from from a salvage yard). Then you will save the labor by taking it out & reinstalling it yourself. But for the trouble & special tools needed, it is far cheaper in $$$ & time to get a used or rebuilt trans & do the labor yourself.
It typically takes about 5-8 quarts of transmission fluid to change the transmission fluid in a 1997 Chevy Lumina, but it's best to check your owner's manual for the exact amount needed for your specific vehicle.
that depends on a few things. the transmission question its self no. it doesn't matter for one becasuse who ever replaced had to replace your original with either the same model of transmission or one that is very muck alike. and yes it can be rebuilt, to out last and out perform the original IF IT IS REBUILT BY A PROFESSIONAL that has all the tooling and equipment that is needed to properly rebuild a transmission. PLEASE DO NOT THROW AWAY YOU MONEY AND TRY TO REBUILT IT YOURSELF.it is very complicated and if you don't believe me then go to auto zone and pick up a rebuild manual for your trans and read the section on your trans
No, there is no special driver needed
Well, that depends on how much it is ridden. Or if it is raced? My son's Blaster for racing we rebuild it as needed. At end of every season.
