Warm Transaxle

Transaxle fluid temperature should be approximately 169°F (80°C). This is the normal temperature for a transaxle that has been driven for about 30 minutes. Check fluid level on HOT side of the dipstick. Fluid level should be MINIMUM and MAXIMUM ridges. If fluid temperature is above approximately 190°F (90°C), fluid level may be above the MAXIMUM ridge on the dipstick.
