Yep, it gets filled through the dipstick tube. Make sure you use the correct CVT fluid, not Dextron.

I found LubeGard CVT transmission oil, they list the Justy as compatible but can't find a local supplier. Any other ideas for fluid would be great.

Do a web search for ENEOS CVT Fluid. It's around $10 a quart, works great!

Wicked! Supplier at work deals with Eneos, hope it is around Any other filter changes I should do while I have it drained? My ECVT is making a whining type noise in park, is that the brushes? I have tried searching but there is no solid answer unless I am missing posts. Thanks! EDIT: Just found Redline Non-Slip CVT fluid as well, anyone tried it? I use a lot of Redline fluids but we don't see many CVT's so no experience with it. www.redlineoil.com/product.aspx?pid=128&pcid=9

Most of the time they're pretty clean unless something went terribly wrong inside the trans. Not sure what the whining noise in park would be. The input shaft of the tranny doesn't turn when in park. The only thing that is likely to make noise would be the hydraulic pump in the trans but then this would make noise all the time. Same thing with the clutch brushes. As for the Redline fluid, I don't have any personal experience with it but I see no reason why it wouldn't be a great option.

Ordered the Eneos since you have tried that, also available today for me so I can flush it all tonight . I will let you know how my noise goes. Is there only a filter screen, no actual changeable filter? Easy enough than. Thanks! EDIT: Just got off the phone with my transmission shop, one Justy filter left in stock Going to pick it up now.

Got the fluid in, sound is still there. Old fluid was red, little dark but not burnt smelling at all. Old filter was full of stuff so good change on that one. Only took 3 qts, i thought somewhere I read 4 but I will double check.
Sounds like the starter area is grinding/whining, I will have to take it apart and check the brushes. Anything else in that area known for failure?
