I'm finally getting around to getting my coach out of storage, and luckily we got it started with some fresh gas and luck. It seems the check valve in the fuel pump had gummed up, but the new gas sitting in there for a few days seems to have released it for the time being. A new pump is going to be installed just to be safe, and the oil changed as it's due anyway.
I did notice some fluid leaking under the coach that I believe is transmission fluid. We did install a new Rockwell pan before I put the coach in storage, and I think it may be leaking from there (but we can't get underneath to be sure). As the coach sat for over a year, I'm sure the fluid has totally drained from the torque converter and a dipstick measurement would be quite inaccurate.
If we do need to add transmission fluid (Dexron?) once the engine has warmed up and hopefully pumped fluid back into the torque converter, is it added through the small dipstick tube or is there another fill point? I don't have the coach close by to be able to check myself, and I don't. Want to drive out there and not be able to move the coach again, I wanted to see what I should bring up with me. If it does need to be filled through the tube, I imagine I need a very small funnel or such to pour the trans fluid through.
Any suggestions will be very much appreciated.
