grinding noises first sign of transmission failure economist suntribune january 29 1986 b5 one of the most agonizing noises a car owner may ever hear is the scraping or grind ing sound of an automatic transmission thats low on oil even in a well insulated car the metaltometal sound is awesome according to the car care council at the first indication of such a noise the transmis sion fluid should be checked if the level is low adding fluid may correct the trouble if the noise persists the cul prit could be a clogged trans mission filter which is pre venting fluid from reaching the pump as a result the transmission is starved of fluid with eventual destruc tion of the pump and other components this can add up to a very large repair biii the above mentioned horror story should never happen says the car care council if automatic transmission fluid is checked regularly at least as often as the oil is changed and if the fluid and filter are replaced periodically the council recommends checking fluid only when the vehicle has been run for a few miles after the engine has reached normal operating temperature check to see if it is discol ored rather than pink or red which is normal when fluid has turned brown this is an indication that it has been burned note also if it smells burned burned fluid should be drained and replaced along with the filter the council also notes that the tip of the dip stick should be cool enough to touch an automatic transmission should operate at 150 200 f severe service driving which can overheat the transmis sion may call for the addition of a transmission cooler fluid life is greatly extended when it is kept within normal operat ing temperature most type of service is de scribed as follows frequent idling for long periods of time such as stop- andgo driving in heavy traffic sustained highway driving in hot weather towing a boat or trailer or carrying heavy objects on a rooftop rack driving in dusty conditions prolonged operation at sub zero temperatures driving on steep hills or mountains on a regular basis preventive maintenance is critical to long efficient car life summarizes the car care council but when it is neg lected ones senses of sight sound and smell may identify trouble car of the week takenoticethatapubiicmeetingofthe liquor licence board of ontario will be held at the liquor licence board of ontario 55

canada thats pontiac 6000 ste for 1986 a clean contemporary exterior and steering wheel radio controls are but a few of the new standard features of this sedan built in oshawa ontario for the north amer ican market in the forefront of stes functional innovation is a new antilock braking system abs which will be introduced during the 86 model year de signed as an integral part of the standard fourwheel disc brake system abs enhances vehicle steerability stability and stopping distances on most road conditions on the outside a revised grille design complements new aerodynamic flush- fitting halogen headlamps and fog lamps besides allowing for easily accessible bulb re placement compared to larger conventional sealed beam assemblies these lamps have allowed pontiac stylists to re duce stes aerodynamic drag coefficient to an approximate 370 from the 385 cd figure of last year living up to its performance image ste comes equipped with a multiport fuelinjected 28 litre v6 enginer which pro duces a healthy 125 horsepow er at 4800 rpm for 86 the standard threespeed overd rive automatic transmission continues with a 318 final drive ratio inside significant upgrad ing of standard features has re sulted in a higher level of ste sophistication included for 86 is a new arc advanced radio concept sound system with amfm stereo seek and scan cassette and equalizer functions which offers excep tional entertainment quality while all radio controls are located on the instrument panel a second set of fingertip control are now integrated into the centre of the new four- spoke leatherwrapped steer ing wheel this design pro vides a more driveroriented environment and increased convenience the electronic instrument cluster for the 86 ste offers a revised tachometer and speed display layout the new vacuum fluorescent unit also includes an electronic odo meter for excellent readabil ity controls for heater ven tilation and air conditioning have new backlighting a new pod control system for the power door locks and win dows as well as for the electri- cally adjustable mirrors allows for ease of operation since ste is intended to be a complete drivers car the list of available features is limited to three power sixway driver and passenger seats with re- cliners sunroof and suede in terior trim during the 1986 model year pontiac will introduce an antilock braking system abs on the 6000 ste series this abs feature is designed as an integral part of the four- wheel disc brake system already standard on ste to en hance vehicle steerability sta bility and stopping distances on most road surfaces the antilock braking sys tem consists of an electro- hydraulic integral booster a toothedwheel speed sensor at each wheel an electronic con trol unit and the attendant re lays and wiring harness the integral booster incorporates an electric motor pump reser voirs accumulator and valve block in operation the electronic control unit receives informa tion on the rotational speed of each wheel in the form of elec tronic pulsed signals from each transducer two microp rocessors in the electronic con trol unit process the data and produce a control signal which is then sent to the electro- hydraulic units valve block two microprocessors are used to crosscheck the data if during brake application the onset of wheel slip is de tected by the microprocessors the computer signals the valve block to modulate the brake pressure to the individual calipers thus preventing wheel lockup the modulation by the valve block occurs up to 10 times per second the antilock braking sys tem used on pontiac ste is manufactured by alfred teves gmbh of west germany
