I bought a new converter . When re servicing the fluid there is no dip stick. How do I put the fluid in and how do I know I got the right amount in?
Anyone that knows...Thanks in advance

Owner's Manual states there is no level gauge - must be taken to the dealer or you can purchase the tooling. Be very careful about over filling.

yea I saw what the manual says....but that dont help me.... Your other thread about the fluid level is good and informative. I have that very same leak on my tranny.
Thanks

You'll need a hand held vacuum/pressure unit like a brake bleeder plus the correct tools to open the 'bolt within a nut' fill port. You have to pump it in then pull the excess out. I have the shop manual. I might be able to take a digital picture and send. :scratch: :scratch:
I wanted to check mine after some people reported possible overfilling from the assembly line.

 

I'm wondering since I have the cooler line disconnected cant I just measure what I took out when I drained the pan, and pour that in one of the line holes. I poured a qt inthe converter to prime it. That would get me close and then I could have it checked at Ford...
Thoughts?
