Padgett Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Have the GTP up in the air and all I find is a drain plug. How do you check the tranny oil & fill if needs. YWTK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padgett Posted April 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 (edited) AHA - no wonder I could not find it. Thank you. Do you rotate the lever ? Edited April 16, 2016 by Padgett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicMechanic Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 I think you flip it up to unlock it and pull it out. Looks the same as on my truck's 700r4, you have to flip the lock up and then pull it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padgett Posted April 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Thank you, was able to reach in through the wheel well and check it, was OK but even with the lock down it felt a little loose in the trans, is this common ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The O-rings wear out and they can get a little sloppy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padgett Posted April 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 OK then I need some new O rings. No big. Lowes has lots. Heartbeat1991 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carkhz316 Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 If I would have know it was just the orings. I cut a washer to slip in between the lever and the rest of the dipstick so when you flip it back down, it pulls tighter and expands the oring section more. Works for me.

Padgett Posted April 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Just took a look and seems to be a rubber body and not O-rings. I'll try the washer trick, lever did seem loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
