Where do you put in transmission fluid in on a 96 dodge stratus?

Answerif its a stick, you dont if its not idk--------------------Unlike the previous poster, I'm going to assume you mean an automatic transmission when you say 'fluid' as opposed to 'gear lube'. The Stratus' are like most cars with automatics in that you add transmission fluid into the same tube that holds the dipstick. Check your owner's manual for the type of fluid needed and be sure not to overfill it. Add a bit, check it, add, check, and continue until it reads full. This should be done with the engine running and the transmission oil hot from driving, on a level surface.
