Should you do it with the motor off?
Should you do it with the motor running ?
I noticed that there are 2 notches for cold and hot, so that is a no brainer .....as long as the level falls between those two notches.
The reason I ask is, I drove a 99 4 runner with 50K miles and it shifted crisp and firm. My 97 shifts real soft. Mine has 103K miles but the fluid with the motor off read way high! I think I overfilled it when I change tranny oil. The owners manual tells you nothing about checking the tranny fluid.
Any suggestions ??
Thanks !
