I heard that GM started using "closed" transmission systems, which means there is no way to just check it. Apparently some manufacturer had multiple recalls due to the transmission dipstick becoming pressurized which would cause the dipstick to shoot out of the hole, along with the Transmission Fluid. The former mechanic who told me this said that unless there is a leak there is really no need to add fluid, and if there is a puddle of transmission fluid where you typically park, then you'll need to check the seals on the pan underneath. Removing this pan will drain the system, but one should be extreemly careful when applying the new gasket. Also, its sounds very messy. His advice was let a professional handle it if there was a problem, it would be well worth the money. I drive a 4 door automatic 2.2L 2001 Sunfire, I have over 120,000 miles, and I have never done anything with the transmission. I missed the fluid change aroung 50,000 miles because I didn't have the money, and was later informed that if you go over 80,000 miles, you might as well leave it. However, lately I've noticed a slight difference when changing gears, so I've been tempted to have it checked out.
Most newer automatic transmissions do not use a dipstick.
It doesn't have a transmission dipstick. The fluid level is checked by removing a plug from the transmission housing from under the vehicle. It is best done with vehicle up on a lift and level.
It's a sealed system so there is not dipstick. If it slips, take it in...if it's leaks take it in. I personally hate that ;-)
The transmission is a sealed unit and has no dipstick. Look in your owner's manual.
There is no dipstick for the transmission. It has a check valve on the side of the pan.
there is not one
No. The transmission is completely sealed.
The transmission dipstick tube
if it is a manual trans then it wont have one in an automatic it should be between the firewall and the back of the motor and the handle should be red
the 07 g6 don't have a dipstick you have to go to the dealer
7 quarts
My 96 Sunfire has no red cap, it has a regular dipstick. You'll want to find a small funnel. The fluid goes where the dipstick is supposed to be. I would also go to the parts store and get a new dipstick.
