"I replaced a drive damper in
"I replaced a drive damper in the hope that it would eliminate an annoying knocking sound coming from somewhere in my starboard engine, and in doing so I lost about 1/2 of a quart of transmission fluid from the cooler lines. I added 1/2 of a quart of ATF back in and checked the dipstick. The fluid level was about 1/4" from the dipstick end, i.e. just showing. The full mark was about 2" further up. The reading was taken cold as the boat is up on stands here in the Northeast.
What should the fluid level in these gears read cold?
I suppose I could check the other gear but there's no guarantee it is filled to the proper level."
