Automatic transmission fluid check tool length?
Automatic transmission fluid check tool length?
Anyone already have one of the Miller Specialty Tools #8863A or B, or MB $140 15 21 AT fluid check tools?
If so, could you please measure the length for me? Thanks.
{Our ATs are MB's 722.6 's?}
P.S. I see a rebuilt AT on eBay for $100! Can't vouch for the seller in KY, but seems like a great deal if the correct trans. The auction number is 170361752551.

Re: Automatic transmission fluid check tool length?
Great, thanks! Hopefully I can find the correct one (I see others). I see that we are supposed to have the stick just-hit the bottom of the pan, then read up from there. Unlike "normal" cars that have fixed-length, factory-supplied dipsticks.

The hot 80c full mark is between 5.5 and about 6.5 and dipstick should be inserted till it hits bottom of pan while in park with engine running.

"Photo of the location would be realy nice."
If I remember to, I'll take and post some. Will be a while until, however.

I haven't really gone hunting for it yet. Found it? If so, where? WM having that particular fluid would be nice ...

Re: Automatic transmission fluid check tool length?
in the older days when dextron and type F (ford) fluids were kings, you could pick up a cheap shift kit and switch from dextron to type f and see a real differencein shift quality. just changing the fluid type made huge differences. this was attributed to the friction coefficient of the of the type f because of this history it makes me wonder about the differences in the shell TF and Mopar atf+4. has anybodyexperienced a difference after changing their fluid?
