Hey guys!...I recently bought a 04 G Coupe..Great Car...Love it....I want to check my transmission oil...but I can't figure where the dip stick is...I have looked everywhere for it...Can anybody help me..thanks

 

It's at the very back of engine, between the firewall and the center/rear of the engine. You will need a 10mm socket to losen the bolt holding the stick in place.

 

Thank you....sometimes when i put my car in reverse...i hear a sound(can't really describe the sound).... but most of the time it would happen in the mornings...is that normal for this car? that's why i really wanted to check my transmission fluid...to see if i have enough in there.

 

yeah in the mornings when i start my car there is a lot of noise for me too. especially when shift gears from d to r and vice versa

 

Your car is an automatic, right?... because a MT won't have a dipstick for the gear oil in the tranny.

 

yeah it's automatic?....what should i do?..dealer?..or is that normal with this car?

 

Is it like a clicking/grinding sound? If it is them my car also makes the same noise. I believe I was once told its the brake lock release that makes this noise, and that it's perfectly normal.

2005, 5AT.

 

yeah it's clicking...makes sense. Thanks

 

Does it only do it when you put it in reverse? Could be the rear axle click. There is a TSB for that.

Does it do it when you put it in Drive as well... or just reverse?? Try putting your car in neutral when stopped and with your foot on the brake, and then going from neutral to Drive and see if it does it.

 

Definitely go to the dealer as they are familiar with all the rear axle issues. Just make sure there is no charge or a reasonable one to check it out.

 

on that tsb for the rear axle click it only last til u have 70k miles right???

 

Yep.. it falls under the powertrain warranty, so it's only covered if your car is less than 6 years old and has less than 70K miles on it. The only way they would cover it beyond that would be if it fell under the category of a recall...which this particular problem area doesn't.

 

i guess it will get fixed after all my modding ha
