Default How many refill for zf transmission?

Hi guys just want to know ist okay to fill the transmission twice without 2k miles? Im changing it because i had leaking in the transmission cooler And water's mixed with transmission fluid little bit so today just drained 3 liters today and refilled it with another 3 liters . The oil that came out was black and had bad smell . How many times i must drain and refill this transmission?


​​​​​​Thanks.

I think you need to have it flushed by a transmission shop or dealer. The torque converter contains a lot of the fluid and it would not be possible to get all of the water out of the system by doing multiple drain/fills.

+1 to RJ's suggestion ...you need to get all the water out or you'll nuke your unit....this is true for any automatic trans. H2O and transmissions are a death sentence combo. If your fluid is black after just changing it, your burning up your clutches it sounds like.

Pulled about 3 liters from transmission lines but unfortunately the fluid was black
