I do not believe there is a dipstick tube on manual transmissions.

Correct, there is no dipstick tube. I'm honestly not sure I've ever seen *any* Manual transmission with a dipstick. I'm sure that they've got to exist, but I've never seen one.

Thanks for the clarification I didn't read in enough to see that the TS had a manual because he said torque converter lol. Yes if you have a manual transmission and shifting issues its likely forks. If you have an automatic probably low fluid level

It shifts fine it’s just a weird noise like somethings spinning on something. When backing out it just dies like a stall out then no start for a while then starts back up.

it’s a t18 4speed if I’m not mistaken

Yes there is.....paper clip method: How To Run a Self-Test

Or invest ~$30USD on a code reader like the Innova 3145 to eliminate counting flashes.


Whether you use a paper clip/wire or a code reader they plug into here:
