First all caps yelling and now all lower case with no punctuations. Maybe the car is having problems because of attention to detail with the mods.

Is this school or a forum?? Seems to me u understood without the punctuation

I could not decipher your problem or the origin of the grammar. I was simply stating that attention to detail may be one of the reasons the car is not functioning correctly. Just something to look into while you repair the car. Hope that helps.

Alright so I'm back drove her yesterday feel out the swap make sure everything alright cars sound like brand new clear as day my only problem on the test drive was a tad bit of slipping from the car goin into second gear n den same on the downshift only in those two gears it's very unnoticeable to others but me bc my sis was wit me n my boy they didn't but the mechanic says that's why he wants me to drive it he don't kno my car like I do so he has it still to check the transmission oil n next is my air in coolant due to him draining it car idles bit funny to me other wise from those issues we are back in business folks lol

FBMWWINS · 12-01-2018, 03:22 PM

I'd suggest it drive it over a period of several days and observe any anomalies and see if what you mentioned keeps on manifesting itself. Maybe engine, gears - transmission need some adaptation period and it might turn out fine by itself. But it already sounds like night and day compared to before.

$howtime456 · 12-01-2018, 03:54 PM

Not 100 percent sure but all Fseries use the same gear oil. 75w-90. I see you had a higher weight posted. Personally i went with Motul 75w-90 for differential and OEM Transfercase Fluid since on the bottle is no weight.
