Thread: Secret to checking trans fluid level

Tweet

a wee bit hard to see ??? take a black marker first clean the stick with a clean rag and some thinner . take the marker and make the stick black were it full so you can see it . no secret hand shake needed

Maybe I explained the problem incorrectly. I can readily see the full mark, the warm oil will not hold onto the slippery plastic stick, it just runs off and doesn't stay on the stick where I can see the level. I am thinking about roughing up the stick with sandpaper.
