inspection screw / control screw Explanation: The way I read it, it is a screw you can remove so that you can see how much ATF you've got in the tank. Couldn't get any hits on 'ATF kontrollschraube', so this is unsubstantiated, I'm afraid. But you did want a quick answer! HTH Mary |

ATF level plug Explanation: It's similar to the oil dip stick, just for the automatic transmission fluid. Just a few examples: http://www.bimmerzone.com/bmwtechinfo.htm http://www.waterousco.com/service/990622.htm http://homepage.ntlworld.com/rs.king/transfer/install.htm |

set screw Explanation: is the US term. It means that a respective tightening or loosening of the screw will facilitate (control) certain adjustments or configurations during a given process. The word is used in both stationary or mechanical context. The obvious "adjustment screw" would make sense but is not in usage here, as far as I know. |
