Cold Transaxle

Transaxle fluid temperature should be approximately 105°F (40°C). This is the normal temperature for a transaxle that has been idling for about 15 minutes. Check fluid level on COLD side of the dipstick. Fluid level should be MINIMUM and MAXIMUM ridges. See Figure . If fluid temperature is colder than specification, fluid level may be lower on the dipstick.
