Thanks James. But I am talking about the tranny dipstick. It's disturbing to hear that I could in fact have the correct dipstick in there, as I have been running the thing quite low if that is the case. My road trip from So. CA to Seattle surely has not helped things. Again, my tranny dipstick does read 126 as the first digits of the number on the red cap. I was hoping that I had the dipstick from a 126 chassis in there or something. The thing shifts quite nicely though - no maladies. Wonder if I need to add fluid or not?!?
