Correct way to check trans fluid

Post by altair »

Whats the "correct" way to check auto trans fluid in an old 95 Mistral auto? Have drained and refilled mine twice but would like to know it has enough...or if I've overfilled it.....

Hot then idle in park, or neutral..or cold?

Thanks guys

What did you bother draining it for ? How much actually came out ? My guess is about 4 litres of the 12 or so in it

Idling in neutral is my belief

Thanks for that info, is it idling in neutral or shut off and checked immediately? Thanks
