Some of you may remember that I lost my 1 year old Manny Tranny last month due to low fluid.
So, what can I do to keep this from happening again. I haven't talked to Manny about this but I'm thinking there is bound to be some way to 'know' when the fluid is low while driving. Yes, I'm going to implement a front access dip stick but what if something happens while driving? Loose an oil cooler line or ?? It sure would be nice to have a gauge or warning system of some type.

Ken mentioned there is a diagnostic pressure port on the side. Perhaps a gauge or sensor there would provide an indication of falling levels. Or, new cars have a sensor in the side of the pan that detects when the oil level is low and turns on a 'low oil level' message. I don't know but there is bound to be something. Isn't there?
