    Pixy sticks work great for sucking out any fluid. Of course you must eat the candy first.

    You must have done this before, 'cause you both talk like you've been drinking transmisison fluid...

    I prefer vodka and Dexron myself, although sometimes there's just no substitute for the smoothness of a Type F on the rocks.

    Or you can do what Sutt suggested instead and not come off looking like a geek.

    If I recall correctly.....FORD had a problem with the "park pawl" on the C-4's, also your tranny has to be warm before you can/will get a accurate fluid level reading(y)

    Park crawl is crazy, considering if you've ever had a C4 apart, what mainly holds it in park is a little piece of metal that catches on the tranny case to keep the internals from spinning/freewheeling
