Thanks to this Forum was able to change ATF/filter (not converter) with no real issues.
Got my dipstick from EuropartsSD along with fluid, filter, gasket,etc.
Filled transmission with carefully measured 5.0 litres save maybe half a cup spilled.
Accompanying instructions say, in part:
"Note: the dipstick will protrude from the fill tube approximately 75 mm (3")
when inserted on the 2002-2006 models. The dipstick will not protrude on
the 2007-2010 models"
I get an increased resistance at 3" protrusion (maybe bottoming) but I can push thru it to a hard stop at about 1" protrusion...didn't seem wise to force beyond that.
Warmed up, I read about 1/4" low (below "min" in warm range) at 3" and about 1/4" high (above "max" in warm range) at 1" protrusion.
Dipstick pic attached.
Any thoughts/ideas most appreciated/// Ed
