fittvr Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I recently changed the transmission fluid in a "97" ES300. The dealer told me that it took 4 qts. of fluid. I put 4 qts. into the tranny and ran it to get it warm so I could check it. Upon checking the dip stick it read a qt. low on the stick. My question is a simple one, could anyone measure the lenght of there tranny dip stick so I would have a reference to the correct lenght? Measure from the bottom of the stick to the plastic handle. (the metal portion only) I have an idea that mine is not the original one. Thanks in advance for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
