Default Re: HOW-TO: Check the Automatic Transmission Fluid Level

Thanks folks for the response and to Glenn for posting the procedure from the shop manual. I talked to my local dealer today to confirm what I had done was right. He said it was, but the fluid needs to be up to temp and idling in park to do the check. It was warm but not running when I checked, so it probably had drained back into the pan what would normally be circulating causing too much to run out the overflow tube. I will certainly recheck it with the engine running to verify the proper fill.

Thanks again tempetom and Glenn for the response. I'm sure this helps a lot of us "Barnyard Mechanics" used to having a dipstick to check oil levels.

Regards,
Bill
