Hey guys,
My '99 9-3 has a very slow Automatic Transmission Fluid leak...it makes a small spot on the driveway. Yesterday I was out washing it, and I checked the level.......very low, almost dry. Some wetness right below the min mark. Then I checked the manual and it said that if the car wasn't driven for at least 30 minutes OR the outside temp is below 50 deg F, the fluid won't get up to operating temp and it will read roughly 0.8 inches below max (which I guess equates to below min). The car wasn't driven, I just started it and checked, and it was cold out.
I'm gonna drive it for a bit today then check, but it's about 36 degrees here still...so it will still probably read low? I don't want to drive w/ low tranny fluid...but I also don't want to top it off if I don't need to and risk overfilling.
thanks for any advice guys!
Alex
