AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID CHECK
1. Place the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Before removing the dipstick, wipe all dirt from area around
the dipstick.
3. With the selector lever in the “P” position and the parking
brake applied, start the engine.
4. The engine should be running at idle and the transmission
should be warmed up sufficiently. (fluid temperature 70
– 80
_
C)
5. Move the selector lever through all positions to fill the
torque converter and hydraulic circuit with fluid. Then
place the lever in the “N” position.
6. Check that fluid level is at oil level gauge “HOT”. If fluid
level is low, add fluid to “HOT” level.
Transmission fluid: DEXRON-
II
or equivalent
NOTE
Low fluid level can allow the oil pump to take in air together
with fluid, leading to various troubles. Air trapped in
hydraulic circuit forms bubbles which make the fluid
spongy. This lowers pressure and shows down pressure
buildup. If the transmission has too much fluid, gears
churn up foam and cause same conditions as when the
fluid level is low, resulting in premature deterioration of
ATF. In either case, air bubbles can cause overheating
and fluid oxidation and varnishing, which can interfere
with normal valve, clutch and servo operation. Foaming
can also result in fluid escaping from the transmission
vent where it may be mistaken for a fluid leak.
7. Check fluid condition.
NOTE
When fluid smells burned, it is contaminated with metal
bushing or friction material particles and hence a complete
overhaul of the transmission is needed. Be sure to
examine fluid on the dipstick closely.
8. After fluid has been checked, insert the dipstick until it
is seated fully to seal out water and dirt.
