Got the TCM code and it's flashing up 71 which is a Engine Speed Sensor fault.

What's the best way to make up a jumper cable?? 2 crocodile clips, female bullet connectors or something else?

Not yet got to make up a jumper cable, and I'm fed up so will look at it next weekend when I'm not so annoyed

So took the truck for another test drive and she is not changing to 4th OD and it doesn't appear that the converter is locking either. Checked the oil again with trans hot and had to remove a further 1/2 litre of ATF, now it is reading the correct level. When driving she wants to change but...

You are a STAR! Thank you sir. I will have a good read tomorrow morning as its nearly midnight here so bed time. Regards

Thanks all, I bought a siphon pump and took out 1.5ltr from the auto-box. Gear box is happier but still wanting to change down alot and not drop into OD unless I ease off the throttle. Thinking the issue is the throttle sensor, so that is my next port of call. Tha ks again guys.

Checked TC and the level is fine, just level with the bottom of the fill plug. Thanks for the answers. I will get a pump and draw off enough of the fluid and keep checking it regularly.

How detrimental to the transmission is it to have too much ATF in it? I haven't done many miles in her since I got her so just worried I may have done some damage.

Thanks guys for the help. It would make things much easier if they fitted a drain plug on all the Oil pans. Why wouldn't you have one. Makes no sense. I do have an oil siphon which I use to change the oil in the rear axle on my Dodge. Don't ask! Hopefully the hose for it is long enough. not sure...

Yep.

Hi yes I checked the level both cold and warm and with the engine on tickover. Put box through all gears as well. When running the fluid is slightly bubbly too which means it's over filled. The level is about half inch above the "s" bend on the dip stick.

Hi All, My auto transmission fluid level appeares to be over full so I thought I would drain off some of the fluid however whilst inder the truck I can not find a drain plug on the transmission. How does one drain the ATF from the transmission? Truck is a 2004 M1097a2 with overdrive and Park. Thanks
