robin Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Before checking the fluid level make sure the car is level and put the box in manual mode and work through all the gears including reverse. Then check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sypher_44 Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 when im going through the gears shall i be standing on the brake or should i reverse the car a little and go forward or just plant the foot on the brake??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 when im going through the gears shall i be standing on the brake or should i reverse the car a little and go forward or just plant the foot on the brake??? to check the level there really is no need to put the box through all the gears just check it when hot when its idling in park or neutral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 to check the level there really is no need to put the box through all the gears just check it when hot when its idling in park or neutral Go for a drive warm it up and then check fluid the moment you park up.
