Hey Frank, @Tooljunkie do you know how to check the fluid on a 2015 Nissan Altima with cvt trans? This thing has no dipstick.

Not 100% sure. But many vehicles with no trans dipstick, are filled from the drain plug. Usually there is a stand pipe above the drain hole, that keeps the fluid in the pan. Must be checked while running, so fluid does not run out. Basically, you start it, pull the drain and see if fluid comes out. If not you introduce fluid util it overflows the standpipe in the pan. Does that make sense ? Not sure if this is your application, but likely, if no dipstick
 
64 Dodge is my first choice. 65 Coronet would be my second.

Makes sense, this thing has a tube and a cap but no stick attached. Damnedest thing. I just saw a video that talks about a plug to check. I’ll get back under it and take a look. Thanks Mitch.

Mark, if it has a tube and a cap, they want you to use a dealer dipstick to check the fluid. Many times, those dipsticks are also available aftermarket. I have one for Late Mopars, and I have one for Mercedes Benz....Probably the case for you...

Start an thread, actually no, better to start a 'conversation'. You can tell us there and even post pics if you want.
Are you cataloging what you got? 3x5 card are reliable - ask Hoppy.
 
Tested the ignition switch from my Barracuda. It had measurable resistance in the Ignition 1 and Accessory connections. Ignition 1 real bad if the key was fiddled with the resistance changed. :eek:
I'm not surprised.
Putting the cylinder in a replacement switch got almost no measurable resistance, but the key was difficult to turn.
Took the cylinder apart . Looks like a new key would help as the ways are worn. But the pins are also worn, maybe the tumbler too. Might be time to spin the roulette wheel and buy an aftermarket ignition and door cylinder set.

It used to be available at my places, but I don't anymore.....

I hear you. On one hand its a shame, on the other, I understand that when the distributors don't want to stock the old and low volume items, the specialty places have picked up that business.

I just got off the phone with the local auto paint supply.
Similar issue with the thinner for the acrylic laquer. I'll have to make some calls - may mail order it. Crazy. But it will be cheaper and probably the same as the original Dupont. Still $50, so not cheap.

Even in the SEM Color Coat, they are somewhat limited. Just not worth it to have a full mixing system. :(

The dodges with no dipstick you need to know temp of fluid, and use a calibrated dipstick from the mopar tool kit.
Caravans-15 to 25 mm from bottom of pan if i recall correctly.
