if it calls for 20 oz then put in twenty oz. depending on what tranny fluid you are using it can be very hard to see on the dipstick. there are a few methods to help determine the level.

Not alot to add besides what's already been said. But in response to the type of tranny fluid used, I use Drag Specialties 80W-90. Engine oil is Mobil-1 synthetic. Have also had problems reading tranny dipstick tho. Fluid is so clear is difficult to see on shiney stick (or I'm just too damn blind to see it! :rant:). Therefore, my solution is to keep small piece of black paper handy. I pull dipstick then lay it on paper. Oil level then shows up. Before then, always appeared tranny was bone dry. Duh!

Hope you figure it out!

My book says between 20 and 22 oz. I wouldn't go more than 22 oz and that's with the dip stick not threaded, just siting on top of the threads...:2thumbs:
