SochBAT · 09-26-2005, 04:30 PM

240Stilo · 09-26-2005, 04:40 PM

I feel ashamed for some of these answers, you guys are a bunch of fucking retards. All automatic Schassis have a dipstick. And they do NOT have a fill plug.

The dipstick sits on the passenger side against the firewall, right beside the heater hose inlet/outlet. Yellow handle, can't miss it.

SochBAT · 09-27-2005, 01:36 AM

so i was right, or close to. Wee for my vast knowledge of stupid things.

It's definitely hard to find. It blends in with the rest of the lines. If you still can't find it trace it from underneath the car from the tranny up into the engine bay.

Lose the Communism and I might tell you.

Fidel_Castro · 09-29-2005, 01:17 AM

Found it! thanks....the damn thing had all the yellow burnt off it and blended with all the grey crap surrounding it.

driftNWC · 09-29-2005, 05:04 PM

well the tranny fill plug is right next to the flux capacitor on some 240s, thats why you wouldn't have a tranny dipstick

Irukandji · 09-29-2005, 05:12 PM

Thank you for that. We can all go to sleep now. Could you point out anything else that's already blatantly obvious?
