Some basic questions on my M

Posted by Nathan in Texas on March 19, 2005 at 09:24:13 from (216.167.183.158):

Well I got the manuals and have skimmed over them and can't find the answers to my questions in there but I think that is because they were written back before you had to put warning labels on coffee saying that it might be hot! ;-)

It looks like to take the hood off I need to take the air filter and muffler off. Does that sound right?

Also I'm still confused on how to check the level of the transmission fluid. The diagrams go into great detail about checking and changing the engine oil but seem pretty sparse on the transmission stuff. I don't remember seeing hardly anything on the hydraulic system. Is the transmission and hydraulic fluid the same?

Lastly there is a little flap on the left side of the transmission casing. I can move it and look into the transmission and see a bunch of gears and they look like they have really thick oil on them. I guess the oil is heavy enough and thick enough it isn't going to spill out through that hole because it isn't sealed very well?

I can take pics if needed.

Thanks very much for all the help so far.

Nathan
