How do I check the transmission fluid on a 1983 Honda Civic 1500DX
My Chilton Volvo repair manual ( 1970 to 1983 ) shows ( DOT 4 brake fluid )
A 1983 Chevy Blazer transmission will hold 12 quarts of transmission fluid. The manufacturer recommends using a. SEA certified transmission fluid.
check the fluid with the car off
Passenger side way back dipstick. You will need a transmission funnel. Use Dextron III fluid.

I buy transmission fluid from the dealer since it is a "synthetic oil" type fluid. Brake fluid is DOT-4 from anywhere althogh you can price it at the dealer.
you use a funnel to put it down the same tube that the dipstick came out of.
Make sure there is a ground wire from the transmission to the frame. Most likely is has been un hooked or misplaced .
Stanard transmissions use oil, not transmission fluid. There is a plug on the side of the tranny. Open the plug and stick your finger in. The oil should be right at the bottom of the opening. If not, you will need a pump to get the oil into the tranny.
