no ability to check dipstick, as no dipstick. using the inspection plug, I drained about 6 quarts of atf- then replaced 6 quarts, but I still cannot check the fluid level. it was the first change. just how does a person check the fluid level???
If I pull the pan, will all 9 quarts come out? or about 6 qts?
