2005 XC90 Where is the transmission dipstick on 2.5t

Post by Otomaniv »

:mrgreen:

Have a 2005 XC90 2.5t. Looking for yellow transmission dipstick. I found on drivers top of transmission
a black rubber hose with a black plastic top. Is that where the stick is supposed to be? Is it a breather? If so were should the dipstick be? Please help transmission in shuddering when accelerating at high speeds. Want to start with checking fluid before getting into it. Any info would be greatly appreciated :D

Move the lower radiator hose to the side, usually toward the driver's side, where it runs vertically in front of trans and you'll see it.

Thank you so much found the stick. Unfortunately it is not the problem of shuddering transmission. Any suggestions? Should i drain and refill? Do you know if it has a filter that should be changed? Just looking for guidance. Thanks again
