    Hello ,
    A few days ago, I changed the oil in the automatic transmission in the workshop that deals with this. I will add that the gearbox worked flawlessly. After changing the oil, I literally did 20 km and parked in the parking lot. After stopping, the oil poured out from the bottom ... and there are pampers, you can't see where. I checked the vehicle to the workshop (but the car was driving normally and without a tow), which was replaced, (the mechanic) unscrewed the pampers, wiped the bowl and found that everything was ok and tight. It had to throw away what was poured too much ... and watch ... I left him, I did another 20 km and the car stopped on the road and it was not going any further. Everything works normally, but the car will not move. Has anyone had similar experiences. I would like to ask for help because I wonder if they could have done something wrong in the workshop? Does it happen after the exchange ??? I request information . And thank you .

    Did you tow the "automat"? What section? Congratulations :cry: . And the mechanics too. Now the oil level is too low for the converter to work properly, hence the inability to move. Add ATFu according to the bayonet and wait and drag up to decent workshop (if possible?). I suspect that when replacing the so-called ATF dynamic method, "Mr. Mechanik", by connecting and disconnecting the device for changing the oil between the gearbox and the oil cooler, he broke the hose in an old car and it caused a leak. I suggest replacing these hoses.

    10km, / of course with a speed of less than 40km / h
    Because my intelligent mechanic said that each slot machine can be shaken with such speed.
    I will add that it is not just any workshop, but it has a good opinion, hence my choice to do it there: / unfortunately, but this is my first machine and I trusted it completely, I see a mistake. Now, could anything have happened through this hall?
    Thank you for the above info, I will mention it there. The only thing is that there is no saber there and I will check if there is oil or not.
    I also think that the same mechanic should fix it since he made a mistake. The gearbox worked flawlessly. Therefore, I wanted to simplify whether it is his error or whether it happens. Thank you again.

    It is not good if the gearbox "loses" oil after changing it. You should carefully locate where from. Let him not claim that the excess oil has been thrown away, the breather is at the very top of the box and it is not possible to pour too much if there is an oil check hole.

    The box mounted in the Ford Galaxy has no wires going to the oil cooler, the cooler is bolted to the box. Ford Galaxy 2.3 Automatic Gearbox - Oil Leakage and Car Immobility Post-Oil Change

    The car went to the same mechanic for the second time.
    Apparently, due to the new oil, the pressure is higher and it stuffed the seal near the vent.
    I had to pay for the oil a second time, and the work on his part. ..
