Default Re: Kind of strange fluid level in tansmission

Patrick hit on the key but without emphasis. When installing an engine with transmission into a car, the transmission top must be off the trans. I use a cardboard dust cover in it's place.

Anyone that has ever filled a trans FROM EMPTY with high viscosity lube through the filler plug only has to do it once before they realize it's MUCH easier and quicker to do so through the top before installing the shifter top.

Just because someone was wise enough to learn that point doesn't mean they were careful enough to stop filling in time!
