Purple K it is. For what I don't know. Haven't quoted Daniel in a while. Every time I see our Moderator Emeritus pop up in a thread his absence stings as acutely today as it did two years ago. Damn.

I miss him too. Painful, but I kinda like running across Bony's old posts... as I'm sure he's still hang'n around. Someone has to check up on Chip while DBK spends some time with his lovely daughter!

Agreed, chills just went through my body on the last couple of posts...
So where O where is the filler cap or dip stick for the transaxle? Is there one.......
I went through it as good as I though one could (so I think) and no dice.....

As I have been instructed by one of the great GT Guys, when using a transaxle cooler, the typical filler plug is not used. Instead, get some nice clear plastic hose, 1/2 inch, I cannot recall, a couple of feet long. Remove the speedometer sensor carefully, as not to damage the re-usable O-ring. Once the fluid has been drained and the screen cleaned out and the drain plugs snugged back up, follow the book as to the number of transaxle fluid quarts to put back in, PLUS ONE MORE. Most of the fluid from the transaxle cooler drains out during a normal change, and the filler plug above the drain plug will not allow for this required extra quart to be added. I know my tubing extends to the rear tire and that is the point where I allow gravity and a bit of squezzing to refill the transaxle.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Pete, I do not have the transcooler and I'm a little ignorant on the where abouts of the filler plug?????? and when I remove this filler plug, when it overflows, my transaxle is full??
This link should show you a drain plug and above it the filler plug on mine: http://home.comcast.net/~skatesharpening/trans001.htm
And of course, good luck. Once the fluid is at the level of the threads of the fill hole, you are set, or I suppose you can use the correct amount fed through the speedometer sensor area.
