You don't have to screw it in to check the fluid. Hope you're using ATF and not oil? Just found out about not needing to screw it in to check the level last weekend from the service manager at my dealer.

Don't screw it in to check it. Your Ski-Vee has 2 sticks because it's a combo tranny/vdrive unit. So one stick measures the transmission fluid, the other measures the vdrive fluid. Both use Dexron III transmission fluid, not oil.
