The ATF level gauge (dip-stick) has been discontinued, and the ATF inspection method and the oil level inspection method have been changed.

This mechanism consists of a refill plug, overflow plug, ATF temperature sensor No.2, and A/T OIL TEMP temperature warning light.

I never heard of such a thing, but anyway thanks for the advice. The dealer is a little far from home, but I’m going to take my time and wait for somebody to answer it.

Thanks
