How accurate is the transmission fluid dipstick? Is there any reason I shouldn't expect the indicators on the dipstick to indicate the actual fluid level?
I ask because, after AAMCO replaced my transmission for a hefty sum, I've found the fluid level to be consistantly well above the crosshatched area on the dipstick. The AAMCO technicians I have brought this to the attention of have said it is a normal reading. I am confused.
I used a handpump to suck out fluid last night, and now it's reading about half-way between the two dots below the crosshatched area when warm. About 32oz came out to make it there! Should I add a bit until it reaches the top dot?
