Just making sure about this (could be a solution to my tranny woes). So when you recheck the tranny fluid a couple days later, after the car's been running and is at its normal temp, I'm guessing the dipstick should sit at the "hot" section right? And we are suppose to check it with the engine running too right?

When i checked the level the other day after driving home from work. (15-20min drive) Parked the car and checked the dipstick with the car running. It was in the cold part of the dipstick even tho the car is hot. (The last fluid change was at the dealership when they had to replace my torque converter and the main seal about 25,000km ago.)
