Can you drive without a transmission dipstick tube?
Can you drive without a transmission dipstick tube? Can I drive without the dipstick in? If the engine is in good condition (no oil coming out of the exhaust pipe) you should be able to run it without the dipstick for a while a least provided you are not over-revving the engine. How do you check transmission fluid on a Ford? Insert dipstick fully and pull out to check fluid level.Transmission fluid expands when warmed up (driving for 20-30 minutes) Transmission level should be between the "HOT" marks.If the vehicle is cold the level will be between the "COOL" marks....
