Take off the FILL plug and reach in with your pinky. It should be DAMN close the level with the fill hole.

Might as well just change it while you're at it.

Theres a fill plug on the trans.Take it off and stick your pinky in there.If you dont feel anything your low,fill it until it runs out a bit,then your good to go.
