> The fluid was at the low mark on that dipstick so I marked the stick per the instructions.
Interesting. That's exactly where ours showed up when I did the procedure.
However, I'm pretty darned sure if we used the "low" mark as the new "hot" mark,
our tranny would not go into gear. We have trouble with it if it's at all low.
I've been continuing to use it as the "low" mark and so far so good.
On ours, it's also easy to mis-read the dipstick. The marked face of the dipstick
tends to pick up smears of fluid from the tube. To read it accurately, we have
to turn it over and look at the back.
One thing we did note: the tranny dipstick goes into the pan at the far edge/corner
of the pan. This means if the coach isn't perfectly level, there will be pretty
large variations in the measurement. However, if set to the correct ride height,
the coach body isn't level, it's about 1.5 inches lower in back. If I recall,
correct ride height translates into the bottom of the tranny pan being level.
I think there might be more tweaking needs to be done to get this procedure
correct. It'll be good to have more reports here. Thanks for sharing your results.
