Fluid Level Check: Notes
Under normal circumstances the fluid level should be checked during normal maintenance. If the transaxle starts to slip, shifts slowly, or shows signs of fluid leaking, the fluid level should be checked.
- With the transaxle in (P) PARK, the engine at idle, foot pressed on the brake, move the selector lever through each gear and allow engagement of each gear. Place the selector lever in the PARK position.
- Wipe the fluid level indicator cap and remove the fluid level indicator.
- Wipe the fluid level indicator with a clean cloth.
- Install the fluid level indicator back in the fluid filler tube until it is fully seated, then remove the indicator. The fluid level should be within the normal operating range.
