SYMPTOM/CONDITION
The transaxle dipstick may hang up and not fully seat on the transaxle fill tube on a small number of 1989 ACand AS-body vehicles equipped with the
A-604 transaxle. This condition may be caused by the dipstick blade hanging up on the wall of the valve body transfer plate on transaxles built before
transaxle date code 97150000 or by an oversized lip at the bottom of the fill tube.
DIAGNOSIS
Insert and remove the dipstick from the fill tube five (5) times, be sure to note the fluid level each time. The dipstick must insert freely and seat on the fill
tube. The level reading must also repeat all five (5) times. If the dipstick does not insert freely and/or the fluid level reading is not repeatable, proceed
with the repair procedure.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
This repair involves bending the end of the dipstick blade approximately 10 degrees.
1.
Remove the dipstick from the fill tube. Grasp the dipstick with a pair of pliers just above the twist at the bottom of the dipstick blade.
NOTE:
THE WORDING "TRANS FLUID" ON THE DIPSTICK HANDLE MUST BE FACING UPRIGHT.
