have car running on a level surface. pull out the transmission dipstick, normally it has a red top of some kind. wipe it clean, put it all the way back in and then pull it back out. you will see if your level is ok, by what it says on the bottom of the dipstick
as far as i know you cant check the transmission fluid on a 2000 Pontiac sunfire. It uses dexcool automatic transmission fluid and very rarley needs to be changed, i have a manual shift and it never has to be changed. Actually the only way that you can change it is by having it flushed the same way you flush a radiator, it has to be sucked out by a machine.
There's probably no dipstick on a Sunfire that new. You need to add fluid at the transaxle itself. There's a plug in the side of the transaxle that needs to be removed to check or fill the fluid.
Check your Automatic Transmission fluid level
usually with the vehicle running and in park then check the dip stick
how to check fuse for horn in a 1998 Pontiac sunfire
You can't it is a sealed transmission. If you have no leaks then all if fine.
it doesnt have adip stick it has a bolt in the side of trans better take to dealer
I'd check the transmission fluid level first and then for a slipping band inside the transmission.
You mileage will vary dependent on the condition of your car, your driving habits and which engine/transmission you have. Check the web site below for exact specs. http://consumerguideauto.howstuffworks.com/1995-to-2005-pontiac-sunfire-6.htm
Most newer automatic transmissions do not use a dipstick.
