Paragon Transmision

Post by wolfnnj »

Well I have a weird issue every winter I winterize the engine and transmission with antifreeze. I check all fluids I change engine oil prior to sitting all winter and top off trans fluid. I have a pv31 V-drive so there is two areas that have trans fluid one on the trans and the other on the v-drive. every spring when i check everything again there appears to be no trans fluid in the v-drive??? Its not leaking? i would see it in the bilge. am i blowing it out of the cooler? this is so strange. I fill it up and it stays at the same level all summer. am I missing something??
