But can’t locate transmission fill plug. Does the overdrive fill serve the transmission too? Posted on: Yesterday 10:58

The overdrive unit will fail if it is run with low fluid, so be sure that both the transmission and the overdrive have the correct amount. Posted on: Yesterday 12:49

If not, it may not have one, in which case I'd look at the service literature for specific information. It's is important that both units, OD and the main transmission, have the correct level of lube. Posted on: Yesterday 15:03
