High or Low Fluid Level


High or Low Fluid Level

A fluid level that is too high will cause the fluid to become aerated. Aerated fluid will cause low control pressure, and the aerated fluid may be forced out the vent.

A fluid level that is too low can affect the operation of the transmission. Low level may indicate fluid leaks that could cause transmission damage.

Fluid Level High Before Starting Engine--OK During Normal Check

1. Check for correct operation of drain back valve in stator support (Except C5).
2. Check pump bushing.
3. Replace or repair pump if required.
