So i just changed my condenser for the first time. Without a dipstick or way to add trans fluid, how do i know how much was left in the cooler and how do i add it back in?

Thank you.

There's a plug on the transmission, passenger side, where the dipstick used to go. You pull the plug and fill until it starts to overflow or just below that point.

I would get a dipstick and tube and put it back in.

I'm trying to figure out the relationship between a condenser and transmission fluid.

On the K2s the two are combined, the top half if memory serves, is the trans cooler. I don't think any trans fluid goes into the radiator and that is why they use the thermostat. Took me a while to figure and understand all that too.

Thank you for the response. I never got notification so i didn't realize i got any answers. I will look for that and add fluid there.
