The owners manual gives some detail but does not even specify whether the car is to be running or not when the level is checked.
check atf on level surface with engine running warm, and in park. no not check cold. the slipping and catching sounds exactly like low fluid level symptoms.. the fact that you have atf spray on your hatch, means you have a blown seal somewhere and it needs to be fixed.. chris |
