Re: CVT Fluid Drain and Fill w/ Filters Replacement

Could someone post a picture of their fluid level on their dipstick with the car cold and not running? Someone with the stick with the drilled holes. Still getting bubbles in the fluid at operating temp. I want to see if it helps me figure if it's over or under filled (or possibly fine)

Re: CVT Fluid Drain and Fill w/ Filters Replacement

I had just posted previously that it was supposed to be a clearish yellow according to something I read when researching and I just wanted to clarify that was not the case

Re: CVT Fluid Drain and Fill w/ Filters Replacement

Just thought I'd let everyone know that the Triax fluid has seemed to work fine so far after about 500 miles which isn't really much, but in contrast to what I read somewhere the fluid is red, not a clearish yellow color.

Re: change head cover gasket

Just performed this same thing today. No more oil drip on the power steering pump. I actually had to flat file on the left side (if looking at the engine from the front) in the front where two pieces mate together; it wasnt even close to flat.

Re: CVT Fluid Drain and Fill w/ Filters Replacement

Sorry I haven't added my vehicle info yet. It's a 2011 SLS Sport AWD. It has the drilled stick. I used the same filters as posted in this thread I believe. I did just add a little fluid (maybe a 1/5 quart) as it was reading around an 1/8" below the top hole. I drove probably 20 miles mostly all...

Re: CVT Fluid Drain and Fill w/ Filters Replacement

Is bubbles in the fluid normal when hot, caused by too high if a level, or too low of a level? Just trying to get the level right

Re: Typical Acceleration

Does anyone happen to know the relation between the throttle position sensor and the torque convertor lockup on these cars? Is the lockup adjustable via the TPS is what I am getting at or not related at all? I ask because my TPS voltage on my truck directly affects lockup of the convertor

Re: Front CV Axle AWD

Did it help at all with the awkward low rpm drop around 20mph?

Re: Front CV Axle AWD

Another thing I cant seem to find an answer in (unless I should make a new post) is I read somewhere about an update that makes the car shift significantly better. Is this available for my car, and where would I get it done since theres no Suzuki dealer in the US? There is an aftermarket product ca...
