Where on dipstick is full???
K quick question, how do I know when I have the right ammount of fluid in? My dipstick does not have a full mark, just and 'ADD' 'COLD' and 'HOT' but no FULL. Dont want to underfill and CERTAINLY dont want to overfill.

The appropriate way to check it....Get your jeep up to running temp, put her in park, then run through each gear all the way down to 1 (or 2, cannot remember the lowest gear?), then back up to park. Turn off the jeep, get out and ck your fluid. Should be right on the HOT mark.

In the tranny service write up on the Project-JK site, it states:
22. Pull out your transmission dipstick and check its fluid level which should be about 1/8″ below the lowest mark on the dip stick. If necessary, add more fluid as needed and recheck the fluid level after your transmission has reached normal operating temperature, approximately 180°F.
what does it mean 1/8" below the lowest mark??? Where exacally do I want the level, there are 4 holes , 1 at add, 1 at cold, and 2 at hot.

It then tells you to recheck after the tranny warms up to normal operating temp. Then it should be near the "HOT" mark.
