How do I not Overfill the Tranny Fluid???
I've been in need of a tranny fluid change now for some time, but keep being stymied by the fact that I cannot get anywhere near an accurate reading on the tranny fluid dip stick.
One person suggested just putting the same amount of fluid back in that I drain out, but how do I even know that my fluid is topped off to start? I'm 100% certain it's not at a proper level.
Somebody else suggested checking the dipstick with the motor running. Again - It's nearly impossible to get a good reading because there's so much fluid-laiden tubbing that the stick gets pulled through just for me to get it out.
So what's the best way to do this?

This should take you step by step through the process: http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/trans...anschange.html
There are a lot of excellent tutorials from this guy. He is a Club Lexus member and owner of an original LS400, which shares a number of similar parts with your SC400 (including the transmission).
