level on the dipstick should be
between the "ADD" mark and 1/4
inch below.
3. If additional Huid is required, add
suflicient fluid to bring the level to
1741 inch below the "ADD" mark on
the dipstick.
If the transmission fluid level can
be correctly established at room tem-
perature (80°F) as described, when
the transmission reaches normal op-
erating temperature, the Huid level
will appear at the "FULL" mark. The
fluid level is set at % inch below the
"ADD" mark on the dipstick to allow
for expansion of the fluid which oc-
curs as the transmission temperature
rises to its normal operating point of
180°F. DO NOT OVERFILL.
