762842 2009-04-07 00:48:00 i am trying to find the dipstick to check the automatic transmission fluid level of my car gearbox. i looked in the engine bay, and i can see a very long dipstick with the yellow handle but that looks like the dipstick to check the oil level, not the transmission fluid. I have a nissan pulsar.
Anyone know where the auto transmission dipstick is in the engine bay of my car?

762843 2009-04-07 01:19:00 if it has a hot and a cold marking then is probly the trans fluid stick.

if it only have a high and low , then it maybe just oil.

can you find the oil stick??

The yellow handled dipstick is the oil

762847 2009-04-07 05:39:00 Let me have a year/make/model/engine size .

Some (unfortunately if you have this) have NO dipstick at all .

Others use the speedometer drive gear as the fluid level indicator and you need to pull it out and read it between the shank of the driven gear .

More info please and I know I can help .

762848 2009-04-07 06:57:00 Yup my car doesn't have a trans dipstick :D Nomad (952)
762849 2009-04-07 10:53:00 how you supposed to know when it needs toppin up then? when your car starts runnin rough as guts with big clunky gear changes? hueybot3000 (3646)
762850 2009-04-07 11:30:00 I guess the manufacturer recomends changes after certain kms / miles are driven.

If I am not mistaken, those w/o dipsticks the oil needs to be inserted bottom - top up.

Having said that we have a compact Mazda 92, we got in 95 and to now still going v good. This one has a dipstick. But I get what you mean thou.

762851 2009-04-07 11:32:00 So if you roll your car in an accident or whatever it would be smart thinking to change your gearbox oil before flipping it back on its wheels... hueybot3000 (3646)
