Basic Car Tune-Up : How to Check Transmission Fluid

[Fredzz2]

you dipstick! !

[TheOxTube]

Automatic cars are for pussies.

[lQtasticl]

@TheOxTube or for people who have a job and an income to go toward something OTHER than new trannies and fuel.

[TheOxTube]

@lQtasticl Manual cars last alot longer than automatic transmissions. they rarely go bad and require little to no maintenance, they are cheaper to buy AND run and last longer. they are also more fuel efficent since you can shift up in lower rpm's thus saving fuel. so do some research before making such remarks. if you are tight on money then manual cars are going to be cheaper in every way. and what makes you think i dont have a job? if you have an automatic then your comment would make sense.

[lQtasticl]

@TheOxTube I've owned both, but to say you don't go through transmissions faster and gas mileage is lower is just stupid lol.

cars are designed for fluid levels to be check when the engine is cool. which is the most reasonable way.

[danielbarbu]

automatic transmission needs to be checked when the engine and transmission are hot because you don't get the right reading.

[riccisantiago]

not always, little warm is much better, especially for engine oil. of course we cant check it if its just arrived or travelled long distances

[NRPBrute]

@willm1105 Not really. Many auto manufacturers recommend checking oil and trans fluid levels when the vehicle is at operating temperature. Idling if it is an automatic and you are checking the trans fluid, in neutral if it is a Chrysler product.

[Rizixxxx]

if the motor would have the oparating temperature he would cook himself

it means he wasn't doing it write

[balersalvage]

PAY ATTENTION!!! He is checking a manual (stick-shit) transmission. You don't have a stick shift running when you check it. He did it just like he was supposed to. And you only get burnt if you touch something HOT. He was being careful.

[krookedKiller13]

I thought you're supposed to have the engine running?

[marek0086]

he also said to check when car is at operating temp......this one wasnt coz he'd be burning himself bad!

[frostbaracudas]

yep you have to start up the engine to check the level and after that stop the engine and put oil

[simplecrs13]

Thats only for automatic cars u dumbass

[krookedKiller13]

Damn simplecrs13, your such an ass. haha dipshit.

[simplecrs13]

hahaha lol just kidding lol...but yeah thats only for auto cars sorry for being such an ass lol
