Thank you. It's hard to believe that some Ford genius couldn't come up with a better way to add transmission fluid to my Storm than to expect owners to add fluid into a tube placed virtually out of reach for such purpose. Before reading your helpful advice I added fluid (with a warm engine) directly into the tube with a funnel but then realized I couldn't get a valid reading as the stick "reader" had been pulled through the fluid residue in the tube. I assume you are suggesting the couple of feet of plastic tubing to reach the transmission "box" to eliminate this problem. Moreover, I've been told to check the fluid level with the engine running. Novice.

The transmission stick shows I am low on transmission fluid. There must be some easier\better way to add transmission fluid rather than into the transmission stick tube (which is virtually impossible)?
