Hi Guys

I have recently bought a 1.6 8v auto Vitara on a M reg.

Engine seems fine but the box feels like clutch slip in a manual car, so if i select reverse & try to reverse up my drive is struggles a bit. I assume its a 3speed transmission? it changes gear fine.

When accelerating I get a very strong smell which smells like peroxide(just like the wifes hair dye) anybody know what that might be?

Would a fluid change be benifical? if so what do i use? i might aswell do the front & rear diffs at the same time so what is best to use in them? is it stright forward enough to change out? I also own an mitsi evo & thats a right job to switch out the fluid!

thanks for any help

I would start with changing the transmission fluid, should just be normal ATF in the gearbox i think.

sae 80w90 GL5 in the transfer box and diffs.

Thanks mate will get some oil in and switch it out see if that improves things

How many litres will each unit need?

I have a auto box available if you needed 1 fingers crossed you don't but its there if u do
