Water in Transmission Printed From: CorrectCraftFan.com Category: Repairs and Maintenance Forum Name: Engine Repair Forum Discription: Engine problems and solutions URL: http://www.CorrectCraftFan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=798 Printed Date: November-22-2024 at 4:46am Topic: Water in Transmission Posted By: Guests Subject: Water in Transmission Date Posted: September-07-2004 at 8:58pm I just bought a 1978 Ski Nautique and found water in Transmission. I initially thought transmission cooler was bad but I took it out and performed a pressure test on it and it appears to be ok. What is the best way to flush the Transmission? I flushed it once already but still see Pepto-Bismol fluid. Replies: Posted By: David F Date Posted: September-08-2004 at 2:59pm Just keep flushing it until the pink is gone. Then flush it again for good measure. It just takes repetition. If the pink color does not lessen with each change, you are introducing water. Hate to admit it, but once I forgot to install the drain plug and launched my boat. By the time I noticed the problem and got the drain plug installed, the tranny ingested water. Not wanting to ruin a day, we pumped the water out of the bilge and kept going. Upon returning home, I immediately changed the tranny fluid simply by sucking it out with a turkey baster. I change the fluid about 4 times before I was satisfied. The tranny has worked flawlessly ever since (7+ years). Moral of the story is they are really very tough and forgiving.
