Bubbles in transmission fluid?

Post by Franksdad »

Checking my levels ( so i dont allow my car to blow up ) noticed a few air bubbles in the dip stick for my transmission fluid. Any ideas if this is a serious issue?

No need to bump threads that are only a few hours old.

Usually bubbles are a sign that your fluid is too high. How was the level?
