Re: Re: Re: Transmission Dip Stick for Late Model GM Cars

I was just given a 97 Cavalier Z24 and it has a small leak. Well
considering I just had my 94 Escort stolen and had had tranny issues with
that, I like to check my tranny fluid regularly. Well being that I am
broke right now I can't afford to fix a leak in the Cav's tranny right
now. So if I was able to check the level (which I am not) I could maybe
tell when I need to add fluid but see engineers like to think that this is
a perfect world and their S*** doesn't stink and so they get stupid and
eliminate a tool for troubleshooting minor problems, not realizing the
impact it has when fixing or maintaining a car's life. So now I have to
hope that it has enough fluid that I can go over to my in-laws house and
use equipment and tools to raise my car, add more fluid to see if it
really needs fluid (dumb idea by the way) or wait and hope is has enough
so that I can save some money to get it fixed. Sorry to shatter the image
of a perfect world Lan but this is the real world and people need to use
their brain (if only you would quit killing it by smoking that weed!).
Time for a reality check people. Quite trying to outsmart yourselves and
go back to the basics, they tend to work better only 99% of the time.
