Here is a more detailed explanation of how to check the transmission fluid level on a 1962-1967 Chevy II/Nova:
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and turn off the engine.
2. Locate the transmission fluid level plug on the driver's side of the transmission. The plug is usually located near the top of the transmission and has a square or hex head.
3. Remove the fluid level plug. Be careful not to drop the plug into the transmission.
4. Insert a clean dipstick or piece of wire into the transmission until it touches the bottom of the transmission pan.
5. Remove the dipstick or wire and check the fluid level. The fluid level should be between the "Full" and "Add" marks on the dipstick or wire.
6. If the fluid level is low, add more fluid until it reaches the proper level. Be sure to use the correct type of transmission fluid for your vehicle.
7. Replace the fluid level plug.
Checking the transmission fluid level is an important part of maintaining your vehicle. By following these steps, you can help to ensure that your transmission is properly lubricated and will last for many years.
