russ1958 Posted May 18, 2011 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
