ATF top up on V6 *DON'T DELETE*

[Bainsy]

Have now found ATF dip stick under driver's seat along with engine oil filler cap. When ATF needs topping up where is the filler cap?

[wonkanoby]

you use a small funnel and pour down the dipstick tube

[dave_aber]

You fill the ATF down the dipstick hole.

Make sure you have checked the level correctly, in drive, or you will have an incorrect reading.

There isn't a filler cap

Lorna - Would it be worth making the above a *Do Not Delete * ??

That's a good idea, even tho we rarely delete in Techie, because it shows the post is being linked to, or is very handy.
I've now made it into a FAQ along with Kirstys post on how to change the ATF. And there's a downloadable factsheet in the members area.

Hi there... The link to the factsheet is broken - I get a 404 when trying it. Would it be possible to reinstate it please?

My Auto transmission is slipping when changing gears and I suspect it might be the ATF level so the factsheet would be really useful.

Only paid up members and not Forum users can access the members section / tutorials .. but the ... http://igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/view ... =3&t=30096 .. link is working for me and I am just a Forum user ..!!

But this is a basic explanation of location / method to check the Dexron 3 fluid ..



As the fluid is topped up down the dip stick tube you will need a funnel .. I use one like this ...



Ideally the fluid should look a transparent cherry red ... if it's a mucky brown / smells of burnt toast it's due for a change ..
