If it is the LG8 engine V6 it has what is called a check bolt on the transmission housing. The vehicle has to be on a hoist and level in order to check fluid level from underneath the vehicle. The check bolt must be removed and the level checked in this manner. The dipstck was done away with probably in order to get more business for service centers.
200 Chevy Malibu has a sealed system, so it does not have a dipstick to check the transmission fluid. If there are issues, one has to check the fluid while the car is running.
To change the transmission fluid on your Chevy Malibu 2005, first, pull off the pan, drain the fluid, and replace it.
I have a 2000 Malibu and it does not have a tranny dipstick. You have to check fluid under car, there is a check hole on the trans. It's a pain in the butt.
transmission has worn/bad seals.should have a trans shop check it. Most don't charge to check.
yes. check your owners manual to see if it has to be in park or neutral though.
There should be a dipstick like the one for oil. Check with engine running.
