Preliminary Checks

  1. Check fluid level using HOT range on dipstick with fluid temperatures of 122-176°F (50-80°C) after vehicle has been driven approximately 5 minutes after initial warm-up. COLD range on dipstick is for reference only.
  2. Fluid level should be checked with vehicle on level surface and parking brake applied. Check fluid level while engine is idling and selector lever is in "P" position.
  3. If fluid level is at low side of either range, add fluid. Check fluid condition. Check for fluid leakage. Examine fluid color, texture and odor. If fluid is Black and has a burnt odor, clutch friction plates are worn.
  4. If fluid is milky Pink in color, fluid is water-contaminated. Water may be entering transaxle through filler tube or breather. If fluid is Light/Dark Brown in color and tacky, fluid level is incorrect or transaxle is overheating.
