TRANNY FLUID
I recently added a transmission cooler to my C5 (NEW OWNER) and when I went to check the tranny fluid level I found that it is like an F-BODY...There is no dipstick. How do you add tranny fluid without having to go to the dealership?
Yeah, yeah, I know I am stuuuuuuuupid!

There is no dipstick.
1. raise the car so it's level and you can crawl under the back
2. start the car and get the transmission temp between 86 - 122 degrees F
3. once the temp reaches this level shift into each gear pausing for a second or 2 in each selection from P to 1 and back to P
4. With the engine still running and the transmission in Park remove the plug on the left side of the tranny pan and fill until fluid begins to overflow.
Thats it :cheers:
