My 2004 has the 5 speed transmission and the dip stick. Thought it was the 6 speed transmissions that did not have a dip stick.

Through 05 the sc430 used the A650E transmission. The only difference I know of is the removal of the dipstick tube. In 06 they went to the A761E transmission. I can't find any part differences between 02-04 and the 05 transmission.

And one more...dang Cole, my engine is filthy compared to yours! Better get the toothbrush out this weekend! ;-)

It's just as clean under all the plastic covers too. I pull the wheels once a month and clean the wheel well and suspension bits. I pull the grill when I wash the engine bay so I can clean between the bumper and the ac condenser. I have trouble stopping. If I see something else dirty I just have to clean it too. I've tried just doing a good job but not worry about the little things. I end up going out the next day and do the rest because I can't quit obsessing over it. As my son says to me darn OCD.

Just another update:
Finally, got the fluid changed back to Type 4.
I noticed a quite obvious difference in torque converter behaviour: with the WS, the torque converter clutch would disengage immediately once the foot is off throttle (almost any speed). with T4, it's normal.
I'd like to ask a question:
Now, the level is exactly between min and max. Should I add some to bring the level to max (need to buy)? What's the difference between min and max? Is it 1/2 or 1/4 litre (quart)?
Thanks in advance!
