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.

Remember, when placing fluid in the transmission, to
