Make sure to warm up the motor and transmission fluid first. Start the car, let it come off of high idle, pull the dipstick out and wipe it off then reinsert it and pull it out again to check the actual working level of the fluid.

Do it on a flat surface too. Also many companies recommend a 10 - 15 minute warm up before testing, some even recommend driving the car for a short time before testing.Bob

Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
