So you've checked the fluid level by pulling the dipstick out of the dipstick holder? Well, just add new fluid right in the dipstick holder. *****!!!!!!!DON'T OVERFILL IT!!!!!***** There will be a MAX mark on the dipstick, and it is JUST AS IMPORTANT as the low mark. Seriously. It's a pain in the butt to bleed off excess fluid too so just don't overfill it.

^^^ I'm assuming since u have the 2.4 auto it is the 4 speed with OD.

it should be the 4t40 tranny, and there is no dip stick on the transmission, just a fill cap.. BUT i do know there is a small bolt that u take out of the transmission when filling, and when it's high enough, it leaks out of the hole...

BUT i do not know where it is exatally, but there for sure shouldn't be a dip stick... just the bolt in the side of the transmission, do a Google search and u may find where the bolt is located u need to remove when u fill it...

according to a 97 cavi's owners manual you are not supposed to have to fill the auto trans fluid UNLESS there is a leak in the system. There is a small dipstick located oh the transmission it will be on the drivers side of the engine bay all the way down on the trans it is kinda hard to get to but it does have makings for full and Low

READ your owner's manual. It says with the engine WARM and running, fill transmission to the FULL mark on the dip stick. If you fill it just a bit above the mark, it will NOT hurt...........
