A lesson on posting with great authority

When you couldn't buy a clue with an answerbag full of munny...:rolleyesg

So much for my faith in "how to" sites...:laughing:

Not only does she give the location of the nonexistent dipstick, she recommend checking the level of the fluid with the engine OFF?...:_confused

Did a little more digging & found the authors profile.

Larry, is there any mention of where she comes from??

The "How To" seems accurate for a JDM VX.
We have the transmission dipstick in the location she describes.:winkgray::bgwo:
I appreciate the tips on how to open the hood (bonnet, or what ever you guys call it).
Never knew that before.

Why they deleted the trannie dipstick in the USA model I will never understand.:confused::confused::confused:

Just wundering??

I have a mate who writes about anything and everything. He gets paid if someone buys an article, so he just gets as much out there as he can!

As for the tranny dipstick - you guys are lucky! You'd know what I mean if you ever tried topping up the tranny fluid by pouring new stuff down the dipstick tube :bwgy::smilewink;)

Writers go to school to learn where to put the punctuation and how to properly convey info. Their edumacation on real topics is non existant. So they get the info elsewhere and rewrite it to get paid. This author obviously got general transmission fluid check info and ASSUMED it wass correct for the VX. Had it been correct I doubt the person asking would have needed to ask the question.

Has anyone re-educated the author on Tranny dipsticks for US VX's?
