3.0si Transmission issue

[ard]

Huh. But you refilled it, and it still had issues.

Are you thinking they damaged something ELSE during a transmission service?

Upon inspection, they did only filled the transmission while the engine was off. That's why the previous owner could not add more oil. I drained from transmission and it only drained 3.5 liter of oil, maybe less.

I did this first time after transmission swap, then I realized that transmission pump will suck in more oil if the engine is running. I proceeded to add oil until it dripped out of filler. It has been fine since.

Glad you got it resolved.

I bought my E90 with a "Bad transmission". The PO did not refill with the engine running.
