You can see it from the top. And use a u joint at the socket. Grab firmly, and twist. I have an even longer snap on ratchet, but do not remeber using it

Then that begs the next question...after you get it loose, does the cap drops to the ground? Do you end up crawling under afterwards to get to the dipstick? Why not do it all from below with a wrench?

Use one with a flexible head too. Makes for easier working angles

I have been PMing groups of people as the dipsticks become available, at some point I will hopefully have enough to put a link here.

I may go in for a service jut to see the Tech's face when I tell him to check the tranny level. :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
I thought of this too, the last time I was in for service the guy said “Can’t do it, it’s a sealed unit” He did kindly offer to do a full tranny service for $850.00 and they would add the correct amount then.
Hard Pass!
I told him I would just check it myself. Lol?
