russ1958 Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Hello All, I have a 1998 GS300, recently purchased 112,000mi. The trans seems to glide when I turn at about 15 mph. I want to check the trans fluid but am unsure how to read the dipstick. Can some one help with this? thanks

Can some one help with this? thanks The tranny fluid should be warmed up first, Then go through all of the gears and then back in park, Now check the fluid level with the car running, There are designated marks on the tranny dipstick
