I have a 2005 Holiday Rambler Endeavor with a Cummins 400 hp engine and an Allison 6 speed transmission. I went out today to do my pre-trip ritual (check tire pressure, oil level, washer fluid, etc) and when I removed the red transmission cap there was no dip stick. Now I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure there used to be one attached to the back side of the cap just like on the yellow engine oil cap. I did a little google search and found where you check the transmission fluid via the control panel. (I learned something new) I did the check and it reads OK. So now I know my fluid is at the correct level, I'm still concerned about the missing dip stick. Was there one on the cap and it fell off someway, and if that's the case, could it damage or cause problems with the transmission? Or did Monaco remove the transmission dip stick to keep people from taking false readings? Anybody have a Monaco with no dip stick on the tranny? Thanks in advance for any input.
I don't know why but a lot of the holiday ramblers/Monaco's have the access to the dipstick tube in a ridiculously awkward area. sometimes in order to access the tube I have to open the rear slide out or lift the bed in order to fill the trans with fluid and check the fluid and not get trans oil spills on anything inside the coach. if you happen to have only one tube and the stick actually did break off of the cap then you don't need to worry about the stick causing trans damage. it won't damage the trans. you will have to remove the broken stick if you intend to get a new replacement stick though.
