Landcruiser Lc4 Auto Gearbox Fluid

[TimLC4]

Hi,

I have a 2005 Landcruiser LC4 and now that the warranty has expired I have started servicing it myself.

I have an australian manual for the car which covers most things but the auto box in the manual has a dipstick to measure the level of the transmission fluid and my model doesn't have this. It does however have an extra allen bolt on the underneath of the box in addition to the drain plug.

Does anyone know what this is and how I can check the fluid level of the gearbox?

For those who this may help, the LC4 etc did away with the dipstick of earlier models to measure auto gearbox fluid level and instead have an overflow plug on the bottom of the gearbox.

See the following link for more details
