The best way to check fluid on the transmission is to get under the car while it is LEVEL, with the transmission warm and the engine running. Make sure you have the vehicle secured where it cannot be moved!!!! If you crawl under the car, follow thw passenger side CV shaft to where it goes into the transmission. About a half inch from that, on the housing, there will be a bolt with a 7/16 head on it. take that bolt out. Put a drain pan under it, crawl out from under the car. Look under the master cylinder on top of the transmission, you will see a large red cap. Unscrew it, place a long funnel in it, and pour atf (dexron 3) in the funnel until it runs out of the bolt hole. Replace bolt and fill cap, and you are done. If you are changing the fluid, pour 5 quarts into it BEFORE you start it, or tramsmission damage will result.
