Re: checking trans fluid

just get to operating temp and Check it while in park is and flat surface is fine. I run through the gears once just as an extra thing. and each time I add fluid i run through the gears and wait for a few minutes for any fluid on the side of the tube to drain down so as not get a false reading. remember DONT overfill and use proper fluid as always!
