I have a 2002 with no trans dipstick. I remember a post from long ago on how to determine trans level but now I can't find it. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Id ask Merchant or MikeL or BigDipper if they have a spare stick lying around, and get a new one installed ASAFP.

Does this help? http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=202290&highlight=no+dipstick+fluid+level

Thanks, Bac, for the link! That's the one.

I could get a spare stick but I would have no where to stick it. My tranny doesn't have a dipstick-well that I'm aware of.

Thats one oddball Allison youve got if it doesnt have a dipstick. You could check in with Champion Transmission...he's in CT. Maybe he could look at it for you? Mat Visci~~203-931-6178

Thanks, Bac.

I'll give Matt a call.

Bye the way, where should the dipstick for tranny be?

It will be on top of the pan rail (just above it ) on the side of the trans You have to have a dip stick or a plug or something or you would have a mess under your truck !!!

Nevermind, Bac.

I went out and looked again and found it back by the firewall.

Duh!

Thanks, Bac.
