Auto gearbox oil level

Admiral · 6th August 2010, 12:34

Hi All
I have a 1999 2 litre petrol with an auto box. Went to check the gearbox oil level and the book says there should be a 5mm alan screw as the level check hole and I can't find it anywhere any ideas please.

If you look closely around the selector linkage on the bottom of the gearbox you should find it

Sometimes it's not an allen key but a reguar bolt head

The level should be checked with the oil at 40C otherwise it may be overfilled. Replacing the transmission fluid requires it to be preheated to 40C so when it overflows the filler hole, the content is correct.
