Aloha just bought a 1986 Chevy S10, Automatic with 207,000 miles for $650
I am unsure on how to check the trans fluid. The dipstick reads check in park, idling. But when I do shows bearly any in it. But when I turn it off and check it, then it shows full.
- Its been shifting fine
So I'm really confused. How do I properly read it, so I don't destroy my new truck.
I really appreciate yals help, thank you 🙂 means a lot
The instructions are plainly given on the dipstick in this case. You could also see the owner's manual for details. Normally the fluid level would be checked at operating temperature though some dipsticks have markings for both cold and hot fluid.
If there is hardly any fluid showing when checked properly then it is grievously low.
And now would be a good time to check for any ATF leaks - ATF doesn't evaporate.
shows bearly any in it.
then you need to add fluid until it's at the correct level, and it wouldn't hurt to check the manual
