Is it just me?
Or, is the auto trans dipstick hard to read? I make several attempts to read it and I have to guess at what it reads. Maybe its because I've bent the tube around with the 3 1/2 DP install. Any body else have trouble?

Get a small drillbit and chamfer it in the location or make
a grove all the way around below the hot full mark. Just
make it where you want the level to be. When you pull
the stick the fluid will stay in the grove or hole.
You also can make a high and low mark so when read
the fluid is in the lower but not the upper chamfer/grove.

Good idea Bill, I'll try that because I CAN find the dipstick, lol. Maybe those holes I'll be able to see better with these oldbird eyes.
