how/where do I check front differential?

Featured Replies

I have a 98 OBW, with AT, where/how do I check the fluid level in the front differential. I looked and looked for a fluid level stick to pull out, clean off, reinsert, and pull out to "read" the level, but I couldn't find a stick. Maybe there isn't a measuring stick? Can anyone advise? Many thanks!

Look above the axle on the passenger side.

 

the dipstick is there. Some screw in, some just slide.

 

Some have an extension and others are right *on* the case

 

But all of the automatics, the dipstick for the trans is on the passenger side, above and slightly behind where the axle comes out.

Thanks for the directions. I really appreciate it!

Or if you still can't find it, it might have fallen out. sometimes they get pretty loose if they'r the push in ones and the o-ring shrinks.

 

It's the yellow handled thing in this pic for example
