I gotta be blind, where is the dipstick to check the tranny fluid? I can`t seem to find it under the hood...PR...
I do not believe it is sealed. There is a bolt holding it down, but I do believe that it is a dipstick, so you can check it, you just need to remove the bolt.dan galusha said:Yup. It's sealed up so there's no way to check it. If you want anything done to it off to the stealership ya go.
There is a dipstick attached and you can check the fluid level.stevet47 said:I do not believe it is sealed. There is a bolt holding it down, but I do believe that it is a dipstick, so you can check it, you just need to remove the bolt.
In no way do I intend to be flippant here but...what does your service manual say on the subject?Pale Rider said:This is the deal, I`m just about to turn 30K, and i have never checked the damn fluid, I know bad me, so I was poking around and saw the tube with the black cap and hold down nut and just guessed it might be the dipstick, but said nah, cause the tube is very small in diam...
so what`s the deal: is that the dipstick, all`s I want to do is check it for level and color???
I understand that Nissan only has the fluid, even though I am a prefered customer of Amsiol products...
also I have read the threads on trans service, some say don`t touch it some say do it at 30K, so what is the verdict? Thanks...PR...
The manual does not show where the dipstick is...PR...05XOR said:In no way do I intend to be flippant here but...what does your service manual say on the subject?Pale Rider said:This is the deal, I`m just about to turn 30K, and i have never checked the damn fluid, I know bad me, so I was poking around and saw the tube with the black cap and hold down nut and just guessed it might be the dipstick, but said nah, cause the tube is very small in diam...

I`m not questioning that, but it does state in the manual to CHECK the fluid level, so if the stick is in that tube where you have to unbolt it then I`ll do that!...PR...usmc xterra said:Using my 46 year old memory, I did read it front to back. It said something like don't dick with it. Go look. It's a new age. Go with it. MC
