On my 2000 malimoo there is a plug on the right ( passenger) side of the transmission. It takes a 10mm. With the car on level ground take it out and fluid should seep out. If nothing comes out fill till it starts to leak out. The fill hole is on top on the left (drivers) side and is usually the vent cap. You will need a long funnel to reach in without having to take anything off. Check with you local Chevy dealer for the type of fluid. Around 2005 2006 they switched to merc. 6 synthetic fluid
Check your transmission.
200 Chevy Malibu has a sealed system, so it does not have a dipstick to check the transmission fluid. If there are issues, one has to check the fluid while the car is running.
I have a 2000 Malibu and it does not have a tranny dipstick. You have to check fluid under car, there is a check hole on the trans. It's a pain in the butt.
transmission has worn/bad seals.should have a trans shop check it. Most don't charge to check.
yes. check your owners manual to see if it has to be in park or neutral though.
There should be a dipstick like the one for oil. Check with engine running.
Auto.? dipstick at rear of engine Std.? should be a plug at the side of transmission
in 1996 Chevy started makeing sealed transmations on malibus meaning there is no dipstick. you have to have a profesional check the levels
To change the transmission fluid on your Chevy Malibu 2005, first, pull off the pan, drain the fluid, and replace it.

You can tell if the transmission, in your 1998 Chevy Malibu, is going bad. If there is a whining or clunking noise. The transmission might cause your engine to install when you are stopped with your foot on the brake.
