Started engine, slowly removed handscrew from top. When it came out all the way I promptly got a bath of ATF. Quickly put the screw back in and cleaned up the mess. Fluid is low which I expected since it was thrown overboard when it spilled during groaning turns while cold.
I cannot duplicate the groaning here in Texas hot weather. It only happens when it is below 55.
The manual shows no picture of the nomenclature of the reservoir. The parts I have are the handscrew, washer, cap, spring, filter, rubber washer and reservoir can in that order. Am I missing anything?
