To cut a long story very short I wanted to check the level and condition of the ATF in my early 2005 LC4.
Without any knowledge of how to do this I poked around looking for a dipstick - there isn't one. There are however two plugs on the bottom of the box, one is marked "check". I unscrewed this and ATF flowed freely from it, I quickly replaced the plug. The fluid drawn off was black and dirty looking but does not smell burnt.
I didn't have the engine running when I "checked" the fluid and have no idea what the correct procedure for checking the level is, or indeed, replacing with new. I also have drawn a blank from my local yota garage.
Having seen the state of the fluid in the box I am very keen to replace it.
All inputs greatfully recieved!
Cheers
Richard
