Incorrect Transmission Dipstick???

StangXXX · May 15th, 2011, 01:56 PM

Does anyone have a picture of their Automatic Transmission Dipstick? Specifically for the 99-04 year. I'm getting ready to change my transmission pan gasket and filter cause I have a leak but just wondering if I even have the correct dipstick.

It has been leaking a good amount for quite sometime but it still shows over the full mark when cold and hot so i'm wondering if I even have the correct dipstick.

Mine has a yellow plastic end the C (cold) and H (hot) markings.

HMM.
i cant remember for sure. Seems like mine was white plastic on the end w/ little holes in it.
Or that maybe another vehicle :p

And how much are you losing ?

its been leaking on the garage floor and seems to be about 5ft long and 1ft wide. So the leaked fluid is about the size of an anorexic 6th grader.

Here are a few pics of mine hope it helps! (2000 V6)

Make sure you aren't confusing tranny fluid with power steering. Took me a day to figure out my girlfriend's car was leaking power steering not tranny fluid. Also, I believe you need to have the car running when you check so make sure your doing that (confirmation on that? I've never actually checked the tranny fluid :/)

Thanks DJack, exactly what I need and yes its the same. I'm positive its tranny fluid, jacked the car up and saw the leaks from the pan. It's been leaking for about a month now and just now getting around to fixing it. Fluids still show way over full though.
