Filling the Transmission
What You Should Know About ATF
When filling the transmission with ATF, keep in mind
these little known facts listed below. You will find this
informative and helpful.
Refer to the Owners Manual or Service Manual for
proper filling procedure.
While checking the fluid level on the transmission, keep
in mind that the level will change directly with the fluid
temperature. If the fluid feels cool, about room tempera-
ture, the level should be between the two dimples below
the add mark. Dimples are only on some models.
If the fluid feels warm, the level mark should be close to
the add mark.
If the fluid is hot, the level should be between the add
and the full marks. If fluid is added, recheck the fluid level
after one to three minutes with the engine running.
Hydra-matic engineers note that automatic transmis-
sions are frequently over filled because the fluid level was
checked when the fluid was cold and the dip stick indi-
cated that fluid should be added.
As the fluid temperature increases, a level change of
over 3/4" will occur as fluid temperature rises from 60 to
180 degrees. Refer to Figure 2.
