Where's the transmission fluid go? There's a location on the right side of the motor and the cap's marked OIL. There's also a cap on the left side of the motor that isn't marked.

Back of the engine there is tube that comes up with a cap to check fluid level.
You have a lond pointed nose fennel to put it in there.

Thanks a bunch! My mechanic passed away and I'm slowly but surely figuring this car out! I thought that was the spot but the opening was so small!

I know this sounds stupid but when checking the trans fluid in my 55 Buick dynaflo does it need to be in gear. It seems to want to leak it out if I check it while in park and add to it if its low.

Check the Transmission fluid with the transmission in park, with the engine running. No question is stupid. As stated above, you need a ling thin necked funnel.

Pour Dexron III trans fluid down the ling fennel. Don't use Dexron 4 or 5.

klynnbig, I'm not sure why all of these Martians are having such a hard time with LONG-NOSED FUNNEL, but that is indeed what you need.

Hello Mr Earl,
Dad is doing well. I've taken over the labor of the car. But, it is Dad's car. Yes he is proud of it. We don't get it out as much as, I'ld like to. I'm planning on a cruise in at the local Krispy Kreme this month. That about as much as we show it here lately, a criuise in now and again.

Sorry for the confusion. I know where the fluid goes in I have the funnel. What I was asking is the fluid level checked while in neutral/park or while in gear with the park brake set. I ask this because I seem to keep overfilling while its in park. I fill it to the full mark then drive it and it leaks out bad when I check it right after driving it it is way over the full mark.

[buick5563]

Is the car warm and running when you check it? If you fill it with the car off, it will indeed be overfull.

Yes car is warm and running it seems that it will show its full and other times it will not show on the dip stick I add a little (pint) and it overfills and leaks out while driving or at an idle.

Don't worry about the leakage, that's a feature built into all dynaflows!

There is a vent on the top of the tail shaft housing. A plugged vent will cause similar behavior.

Yes, Martians, have landed and re-arranged my computer keyboard. I have corrected the keyboard.

Maybe there is ling fennel?

Dynaflow leakage is common, the engineers must have known this thing would leak all the time, that is why it is called dynaflow! Flows dynamically out of anywhere it can. Even my Flight pitch leaks!

That IS what they do for fun.

That is number 6 at the Chinese restaurant lunch menu near my house.
It goes well with Tsing Tao beer.

At all posting on this thread;
Would y'all worry about it being a pint low?

[Bill Stoneberg]

Ling Fennel, I think we outsourced some of our work to him.

Sure would, I would get a thorough flush of that unit.

[55 Special]

Not sure if this is the thread to do it, but was curious if the 1955 Dynaflow is the same for the Century (322CID engine) and Special
(264 CID engine) models, i.e. are there different calibrations, components, set up?

Thanks, Jeff

[buick5563]

It's the same.
