Checking,Filling,Changing ATF

[BluYa76]

This is crap, and I've always changed my fluid on all of my vehicles at intervals of 30-35k miles.... thanks GM.

Nobody but me seems to have a big issue with this but it well and truly pisses me off. Never in my life have I had a car where I couldn't check my trans fluid. I consider this a large screwing courtesy of GM.

I totally agree! This is the biggest pain in the ass with the GM cars. I guess when the transmission burns up and shits itself then we'll know that the trans fluid is too low.

We need to make another push at this. With all the great companies that sponsor this board I know someone could fabricate a dipstick. They'd sell a bunch......

I am really looking at this to see how it could be done. Even if its just for checking the level and removed after. M-benz doesnt come with a stick, but it has a tube. You can atleast buy the stick.

Needs to be firewall mount like Lokar I think.

[GRRRR8]

Yeah. but man is there limited room.

[wreckwriter]

Yup. Too bad that truck stick didn't fit.

any way to get the car raised completely level without a lift? I KNOW i can do this if i could just get the damn thing raised high enough.

[R.Penguin]

I like to be able to check my own fluid level. This is, by far, the thing I like least about this car.

Tom, I'm thinking of a way to accomplish this with a 1/4" drill and random drilling. If it works for you, I'll try it.

4 IDENTICAL jackstands set as high as they will go, that way you know it will be level.
