Trans temp level

What temp should transmission be at before I can check the level?

 

Might want to look through this thread.

Since correct temperature is just one part of the process.

Assuming you have an automatic, this is the procedure:

 

I have general idea on how the process works.. first step put one quart of fluid in trans next step plug in scanner since that's what I'm using to check trans temp turn truck on when trans up to temp take fluid level bolt off when it come to a trickle tighten bolt

 

Thanks HOBBS

 

I think it's 95-105. Don't quote me though

 

If you are using obd fusion or similar to monitor the trans temp, instead of putting it in temp check mode, then you need to pin the thermostat to get an accurate fluid level reading.

 

Searartist is that the part where you press and put a drill bit to hold it in place?

 

Certainly! Good luck!

 

correct

I leave mine pinned year round. It doesn’t get cold enough here to need it pinned in the winter time. Hottest I’ve seen temps are 165*F in summer sitting in traffic.
