What happens if there is no transmission dipstick?
Making automatic transmissions with no transmission dipstick seems like a strange thing for manufacturers to do, but looking at it from their point of view might make sense. If a vehicle that’s under warranty is damaged internally because the owner or a mechanic overfills the transmission, the manufacturer may end up having to pay for the repair.
Is there a dip stick on a Jeep Liberty?
I can’t believe there is no transmission dip stick. The dealer says it’s a dealer service item now and it’s the same on a lot of their cars. He said I could buy one for $169.
Is there a dipstick on a GM Ecotech?
Any GM car with the 2.2/2.4 Ecotech or 3.1/3.4/3.5 made after ’98 (again if I remember correctly) do not have a dipstick but a plug on the trans,again very messy to check the fluid. Somewhere between being sane and insane! The fluid now has to be checked using the WiTech and a universal dipstick, with measurement increments in millimeters.
Why does my KK Liberty not have a dip stick?
Your trans requires ATF+4,any other trans fluid can damage your trans,plus your trans is very picky on it’s fluid level and it takes some time to correctly check the level which must be done on a level surface with the trans in “N”.Another reason is the fluid temp plays a critical role in fluid level which owners do not take into account.

Do you need a dipstick for a jeep transmission?
jeepgcoman said: No, it is not necessary to hook it up to the computer. The keys to doing this correctly is to have a dipstick marked in 5 mm increments (or similar), a way of reading the transmission fluid temperature and the fluid level to fluid temperature chart from the Factory Service Manual.

What should I do if my transmission dipstick is not working?
You remove the drain plug and the stand pipe indicates if there’s enough transmission fluid. If a little dribbles out there’s enough fluid. If nothing comes out the fluid’s low. And as mentioned, you need a method to pump the transmission fluid up the stand pipe until fluid runs out.
