I'm Awesome
Hey guys,
Drained the tranny fluid and replaced seal and filter (not a full flush, just dropped the plan), and trying to figure out if i have refilled the tranny properly and i'm having a hard time getting accurate readings. When i check the dipstick (truck in park and idling) when the truck is hot and warmed up, I get one side of the dipstick with a low reading at the bottom of the "cold" markings, and on the other side I get a higher reading near the bottom of the "hot" markings.
Is this common from everyones experience? and do you follow the low or the higher reading? I added 5 quarts after replacing the pan. Truck is running ok.
I need some advice. Im fairly rookie with tranny work, I really don't want to overfill, but obviously don't want my tranny being eaten up due to lack of fluid. Do you guys tend to get better readings cold? or warm? doesn't matter?
Thanks for the input and help
Chris
