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
