    Wrench Tranny fluid

    Can anyone tell me how someone would get 1 to 1 1/2 quart extra tranny fluid in the tranny? I took the check plug out and got BLASTED with tranny fluid!!!(NO LAUGHING) I bought this VX in November and the guy said he just had the tranny serviced two weeks before. It has been shifting just fine I just had it on the lift to fix the tail pipe and thought I would check things out while it was up there. Hope it didn't hurt anything. The tranny was cool as I only drove it 3 miles and it was on the lift about 45 min before I took the plug out.

    You need to keep the engine running to add fluid or to check fluid levels on this transmission. Please use the search or do a google search ("transmission level site:vehicross.info") for the fill up guide.

    You know that it should be idling in park when you check it...right?...

    This will help...
