How do you check transmission fluid in a sealed transmission?

What does P0730 mean on a Chrysler 300?

A P0730 code indicates a problem with the trans selecting the wrong gear which could be due to a number of causes/faults and in some cases, needs a new trans or rebuild. What year car? have you checked, changed or flushed the trans fluid ? I'd start with flushing the trans fluid if that has not been done already or at least check for low fluid level, external leaks, and also inspect the fluid to see if it's brown rather than pinkish/reddish , dirty or smells burnt which could indicate internal problems....if it has the Mercedes trans, there is no dipstick so have a dealer or shop inspect it. "Possible causes - Low transmission fluid level - Dirty transmission fluid - Shift solenoids - Shift solenoids harness or connectors - Transmission mechanical problems - Transmission hydraulic control circuit Tech notes Start by inspecting the transmission fluid level and condition, and change fluid if necessary. When is the code detected? The TCM has detected that the transmission is trying to mechanically shift to a lower gear than intended "Some of the 300's have a Mercedes trans and there was an issue of fluid leaking at the electrical connector. The problem with these how ever is there is no dip stick for you to check the fluid with. If this is the case with your 3oo, then go to the dealer and ask them to check the fluid level for you. They should do this for free." ................. "The Mercedes trans is good, with the exception of that leak I mentioned. There is a dipstick tube with a cap on it. The dealer uses a special dip stick to check the fluid."

Will the radiator over flow make the transmission go up?

If you mean does the transmission fluid level rise, the usual problem is a leak in the trans cooler built in to the radiator. Depending on engine temperature fluid will transfer back and forth between the radiator fluid and the auto trans fluid changing the level and color of both.

How do you check the transmission fluid in 2001 VW Jetta?

I ASSUME YOU MEAN AUTOMATIC TRANS. IF IT IS NOT LEAKING THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON TO CHECK IT IF IT IS OR REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DONE, A DEALER IS YOUR BEST BET, THE FLUID HAS TO BE A SPEC TEMP AND VEHICLE UP ON A LIFT TO ACCESS PLUG ON BOTTOM OF PAN, IT CANNOT BE ON A JACK TILTING BACKWARDS Also be sure that you do not add the wrong kind of fluid. Many people make this mistake, and add hydrolic trans fluid that you would buy of the shelf. My 1997 jetta auto trans used vw specific trans fluid the was mineral spirits. You could damage a maintence free trans with the wrong fluids.


Why is there have transmission fluid in your oil filter?

They are two completely different systems, your trans and engine oil. Unless you have a fluid cooler for both systems and someone has crosses the lines, I don't see how having trans fluid in your oil filter is at all possible. If this is the case and you actually do have trans fluid in your oil filter, then that would mean your entire engine and transmission is contaminated and flushing, along with troubleshooting, is required to prevent any further damage.
