Maybe use some kind of siphon pump... It would be a complete mess trying to remove the transmission oil pan. Or maybe just go in and get a fluid change.
If you have a 3.1 V6, it's just in front of the transmission fluid pan. Use a 15mm box wrench for it.
Do you mean "change THE transmission" or "Change the transmission FLUID"? Big difference there....
The 198 Buick Skylark was offered in a 2.5L L4 and 3.0L V6. Both power-train options were provisioned for automatic transmission fluid through the dipstick/tube assembly.
Gool ol' Dexron.
Call a GM Dealer's service center. They will know.
For the 3.1 V-6, it's right in front of the transmission fluid pan. There's just the one 15mm bolt there; you won't miss it.
It is the transmission cooler hose or line. It runs the fluid through a cooler on the radiator to cool the transmission fluid.
Dexron III, but check with any auto store first.
You have to take the transmission pan off, change the filter/fluid/gasget make sure you put all the bolts in first befor you titan the bolts up.
Check of change fluid and filter--if this doesn't help it may be time for a rebuild
Well... pull-out that rather long dipstick located in the back of the engine compartment, and add some transmission fluid. Make sure you check the fluid level with the engine at operating temperature, in park and on a level surface.
It does not have a drain plug. You have to remove the transmission pan from the bottom of the transmission to drain the fluid.
