4.2 If the fluid is hot, any level within the OK
band (see Fig. 13) is satisfactory. If the
level is below the OK band, use a funnel
to add just enough fluid to bring the level
up to the MAX mark. Do not overfill.
4.3 If fluid is above the MAX mark, drain off
any excess fluid at one of the cooler
lines. If the cooler lines are too hot, use a
suction gun and flexible tubing with a di-
ameter of 1/8 inch to 3/16 inch (3 mm to
4.75 mm).
NOTE: See Table 6 for approved transmission
lubricants, and Table 7 for lubricant capacities.
5. To prevent dirt and water from entering the trans-
mission, be sure the dipstick cap is properly
seated.
6. When the fluid level is correct, shut down the
engine and release the parking brake.
