hi all, been reading todays thread by denmerc with interest.
the question about how far the ATF dipstick should be pushed in on the 722.6 'box?
I have bought the MB dip stick - I have found that there appears to be a distinct "stop" which requires a further push before the stick can be pushed in another 100mm or so until a definite stop is felt which I presume is the stick touching the base of the box. I have read somewhere that you only should go to the first "stop" point but if thats correct I have no reading!!!!!!!!!!!
is Is this the correct method? (I have an E240 W210) I feel the stick should be pushed beyond the intermediate "stop" and to what feels like the base of the box.
However when I push the stick to the base the reading when the box is warm after a 10 mile drive and idling in Park is higher than the 80 mark by about 20mm!!! Seems the box has been overfilled. Is this going to cause a big problem or should I syphon some off? There is no apparent gearchange problems - still very smooth!
Thanks for any advice - sorry to sound dumb!!
