Transmission Information

Transmission Fluid Fill Line

Ron Ginter (#029 Oculus) noticed that the transmission dipstick only has one mark (a ring around it) a few millimetres off the end of the stick.  The manual shows a high mark and a low mark.  Jon Vez (Solstice #17) noticed the same thing and contacted Mack Boring who confirmed that you should have just the one fill line. You should fill to that Line while the dipstick is unscrewed.  He was told that the reason the manual shows the two marks is because some transmissions do have two marks and they provided 'universal' information.
