Where do I put check and put the auto transmission fluid?

[rowlund]

Hi Everyone!

I bought a 4500 petrol GU automatic transmission patrol recently. I would want to check on the auto transmission fluid level and top it up if needed. My problem though is that I bought my patrol second hand without an owner's manual and have no idea where the location would be where I can find the auto tranny dipstick and where to add the fluid. Can anybody out there tell me where I could find these?

Normally on any motor regardless of make, anything painted yellow you can touch.
My manual has no pics, But it would look like a dip stick and fluid would be a redish colour.
other than that can only get you specs etc.

Not 100% sure but when ya find the dipstick that's also the filler normally

Should be tight against the firewall on the drivers side mate - bit hard to get to and well concealed!

The filler is on the tranny itself - not sure of what box is behind yours, but should be a filler plug on upper side wall of the box itself ...

x2 that bigrig said you can see the tube for the dip stick on the right and have seen them filled through that tube

They are very tight up against the firewall. should have a yellow tip. Dont forget to check the fluid level while the car is running. I will grab a pic of mine while im tinkering in it later.
