Hi guys got a new box fitted to my LTD today
im pretty sure the place that fitted it is pretty good
but i just want to double check a few things

my car is a 90 LTD and they fitted a box from an EL falcon
does the box from that model have a dip stick?
i know its a stuipd question but we look tonight and i didnt see one

i will quiz the mech on this 2morrow

the model number is BTR 94 DA 7000 BB

does that sound like its from an EL falc or EL series?


juts doin my home work anyway

thanks in advance for the help

sav

Nup they didn't have a dipstick, so yeah sounds like it might be from an EF-EL.

cool thanks man for that


so how do i service / check the oil level

the box is like 190 000 k's old so i didnt expect it was gonna be perfect

but its a good box none the less

A.F.A.I. EF's still have dipsticks. Or at least Series 1 do.

ok im confused now

should it have a dipstick or not?

model number is 94 DA 7000 BB

if that helps

If it's out on an EL, then no dipstick.
Usually people call them transmissions when taling about automatic and gearbox when talking manual - just for future, makes it a bit easier!

yer that makes sence will remember that for future

ok so how do i service the bugger then?

hah

Plug to check level is on side of tranny, passengers i think

I think that's why the dipstick was removed - to stop back yard mechanics as they were stuffing up a lot of the boxs by using the wrong oil, but if it's just been fitted you should have to serivce it for a while
easiest way to serivce it is to pop down to repco get the service kit, like $50.00, sopme Castrol TQ95 (I think that's the right oil, double check), raise the car, undo the pan, swap the filters and what not over, do it all up again and top up.
I dunno how you'd top it up, there's probably a plug or something were the dipstick used to be. or maybe the transmission cooler lines? but how would you know when it's full? you';d have to measure how much oil you remove and put in the same amount
