The Dealer just uses a home made looking dipstick to check your fluid- it's a pretty big ripoff to try and get you in there for servicing. The dealer's stick is an aluminumhandle at the top with a 34" pice of 1/4" neopreme tubing attached to it. To make your own, fasion some sort of handle so you won't drop the stick down the tube and attach a flexible 34" piece of material to it and scribe a mark 1" off the bottom(could use an old dipstick cut to 34"). The fluid level should bewithin+/- a half inch ofthis scribed, '1" off the bottom' mark. (so it'sat 33" from the top of the dipstick tube). Check the tranny warm and in Neutral. **Note: This isfor the 5 sdp r/t tranny - might bedifferent measurementsfor the 3.5 / 2.7L. I just walked into the dealer and asked a mechanic for the measurements and he was happy to give them to me.
actually i thaught so to it is going to take a dealer. when mine was done he hooked up the computer and ran the car for about 5-10 minutes and at certian time the tranny fluid was a certian temp in wich corresponds with the dots on the stick they use . kinda of complicated if you ask me
