Resolved Transmission dip stick (cant find)

[FastEddyTheBug]

i only have one simple problem that maybe a couple of yall can help me with.

Where is my manual transmission dip stick so i can atleaste see what is going on.

i have searched high and low on this 420a for the transmission dip stick and have been unsuccesfull in finding it.

Pictures of the location of this mysteriose dip stick would be great.

Manual transmissions don't have a fluid level indicator. It's an auto-only thing.

To check the fluid in a manual youll have to unbolt the fill hole and check it out.

if the level is low...i recommend filling it with 90 degree rubber elbow that fits snug when u remove the transmission bolt (tranny filing bolt) connected with a straight hose to the top..and fill it up wit ur trans fluid of your choice. hope that helps.

Aquarium tubing fits snug and works great because you can see the fluid in the line and its cheap and re-usable (don't remember the size, 3/8"??). Put a gear lube bottle top (the nipple) on your fluid bottle and then push the tubing on it and watch it fill, if it starts staying in the line at the fill hole then you need to check to see if you are full by pulling it out of the filler hole and have your fill plug handy and ready to go in! Just filled my trans and transfer case this week in prep for fresh engine start.

They make soap style pumps with clear hoses just for jobs like this. Napa has them for cheap
