Park the vehicle on a level surface. Make sure the transmission is warm and has be driven for at least 10 miles. Place shift lever in Park with engine running and check the fluid level. Add only as necessary. If it is at the ADD mark it only takes about one pint to fill it to full. DO NOT OVERFILL!
Should be a plug at the side of the transmission - fill to this level
in your tranny fluid check tube you will need a funnel
in the transmission fluid reservoir under the hood
The transmission fluid capacity for a GM turbo 200 R4 transmission is 6 quarts. It should be drained and refilled at least once every two years.
Always the first thing to check is the level and color of the transmission fluid. Check the fluid with the vehicle running. The fluid should be of a semi clear red color and should be at the appropriate level for the temperature of the transmission. If the fluid looks good then you will need to check the transmission linkage to see if it has broken or fallen off. From there things get more complicated as you may have a broken neck on your torque converter or internal transmission damage. Generally - if you have internal transmission damage - your transmission fluid will be dark, even black and usually smell burned. There is always the slim chance that your driveshaft has broken a universal joint and is no longer attached to the trans but, you should see this hanging down so it is not very likely.

yea u can,
Owner's manual. Actual Answer: There is no data in the owner's manual on checking or maintaining the transmission fluid level. I have a new beetle, it's leaking, and it seems the only recourse to submit myself (and my wallet) to the VW dealer - again.
