I don't have it so I'm interested also

Extreme if your automatic that might be your dipstick for your Trans. You could just read the manual I'm sure it's in there

Daxenth · December 25th, 2011, 06:03 AM

it says ATF.... your automatic transmission fluid...

Chris05 · December 25th, 2011, 06:31 AM

yep automatic tranny fluid!

xtreme4g2012 · December 25th, 2011, 08:47 AM

ok, like what is it though? a dipstick? is it safe to pull up on it?

Moyer627 · December 25th, 2011, 09:32 AM

It's your dipstick to check your Trans fluid. You can prolly pull it out of the Trans but it gotta be there when you run the car or you'll shoot Trans fluid out the hole.

Moyer627 · December 25th, 2011, 09:33 AM

That's tube and all you can pull the dipstick itself out that's how you check your fluid.

actually its light outside now so i can actually see, last night it was dark and i noticed it without a flashlight, i can read the label now it says T/F for transmission fluid lol, problem was i was scared to pull it out cause its shaped funny, most dipsticks have a round head like a hoop, this thing looks like a plug or some crap lmao, im not retarded on car maintanance i just didnt wanna break something like i usually do by not knowing what im doing and yanking on crap, better to ask before risking buying a part

FeaRlezZ · December 25th, 2011, 11:43 AM

^ it looks like a "plug" because it also acts as a cap for the atf fluid
