5R55W Fluid level sight glass!
This is a very simple, and inexpensive setup to fill, and verify the level of a transmission that does not have a dipstick. All of the fittings are 1/8" NPT consisting of a tee, 2 ball valves, 2 close nipples, 2 2-inch nipples, and a spark plug boot from a 3.8L GM. The clear plastic hose is 5/16", and was attached to the other fittings w/ a tubing fitting that has a little button that you can press to release the tubing. This makes it easy for attaching to the transmission, and for storage.
I used loctite on all of fittings, and super glued the spark plug boot onto one of the 2-inch nipples. Our fill gun fits perfectly into the boot.
