An automatic transmission replenishment container and fluid level indicator having a tube inserted into the transmission fluid with an opening located below the normal fluid level, within, however, the operating level of the transmission, the tube connecting on its upper end into the bottom of a clear plastic container of about one quart capacity which further connects at its top with a partial vacuum source such as a vehicle's intake manifold. A float in the container is buoyed by transmission fluid drawn into the container by the vacuum, the float incorporating means to secure the vacuum line into the container when sufficient fluid has been drawn into the container. The float also includes an electrical conductor which, when the float is not buoyed by the fluid, closes an electrical circuit which extends into the container to energize an indicator. In the event the transmission fluid descends to the tube opening, fluid in the container received in the transmission maintains the transmission fluid at an operating level until at least the container fluid has been entirely emptied from the container.
