I need info on my tranny, How to check fluid??

[VehiTONY]

I am guessing that the tranny fluid has leaked out of the lines up near the front of the engine........ How do I check the fluid in this thing?! There is no dip stick for it like every other automatic I have owned. PLEASE HELP! Am I just stupid????

ok so I pulled the "fill" plug and fluid came gushing out. Was that supposed to happen?

[Lfen]

When checking Transmission fluid you ONLY pull the plug when in NUETRAL and Engine RUNNING !

If you check with engine OFF, fluid will pour out !

Now if you were in nuetral with engine running and pulled the fill plug and fluid gushed out then it means one of two things:

(1) Too much fluid in case (overfilled)

(2) Fluid way too hot to check

Yup..x2 Lfens thoughts.

See "FLUID LEVEL" below, as per post #32 suggested above.

Just gave the OK to my transmission shop for a rebuild for $2100. First significant repair on the car at 191,000 miles. Best car I've ever owned.
