Re: where's the DIPSTICK!!! (164)

["Dean W. Cains" <dwc@domain.elided>]

Hi Group:

The original poster of the question mentioned "gearbox", as opposed to 
"transmission", so I'm guessing the car has a manual, not an automatic 
transmission.  I don't own a 164, but I've never seen a manual transmission 
with a dipstick.  Anyone?  Usually you've got to open the filler plug to 
check or fill the oil.

Regards,

Dean
