[QUOTE="DILLARD000, post: 1051411, member: 74901"] Very possible & very practical ! The 5r55e, unlike most later model Transmissions, does have a complete bonafide DipStick. Makes it easy to check ATF level+color routinely & add MerconV as needed. Routine here is to check ATF level once a month & always before any longer road trip. Also use that DipStick\DipTube every 4kMiles\6Mths to handpump 3/4qt old ATF from Trans, along with 1/4qt old ATF from SteeringReservoir, then refresh both with 1qt of new MerconV; old ATF goes to recyle along with routine Engin Oil+Filter change. Also do a full service on Trans every 33kMiles\4yrs: * TransPan Drop * ValveBodyBolt Retorq * New TransFilter * New TransPanGasket * Band Adjust [/QUOTE]
