Hrmmm...I came up with 28" doing this...so it wasn't inserted far enough. I thought for sure it was in too far when the fluid level was way beyond the 80°C full line.

These 722.6's aren't like the Chryslers where you have to check the level in neutral/engine running, are they?

I'm chasing down a delayed/odd 3-4 shift on my '99 with 144k...only happens once its fully warmed up. I have a new conductor plate to install, but want to get the fluid level situation squared away.

Thanks!
