Transmission Fluid Level

Post by The Dog House »

I have a Paragon PV32R transmission with V drive. The dipsticks for both the transmission and V drive have a flat portion at the bottom of the stick with a line approximately in the middle of the flat portion. Is this line the maximum or minimum level? If the line is the minimum level, is the top of the flat portion the maximum level? An oil dipstick has two lines (minimum and maximum), so I'm confused since these dipsticks only have one line.

It is my understanding the one line dipstick indicates normal operating oil level,...to avoid confusion, lol. :?
