It's red and smells different than power steering fluid. Check to be sure that it's ATF in there, if in doubt, drain and put the right stuff in there. Fill accordingly meant to be sure you put ATF in there and not power steering fluid. | | | 02-16-2006, 11:55 PM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2005 Location: Bend, OR Posts: 413 | how do u drain it? | | | 02-17-2006, 12:05 AM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Asheville NC Posts: 669 | Quote: Originally Posted by snwbrdrbum10 how do u drain it? | pull a hose off | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
