how do you check transmission fluids
there is no dipstick for the transmission on an alero there is a fill spot crammed on the transmission beside the motor to check it you get under and pull out a plug on the tranny
The transmission dipstick for the 2002 Oldsmobile Alero is located near the back of the engine bay, towards the driver's side. It is usually found near the transmission, typically marked with a yellow or orange handle. To check the transmission fluid, you need to remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it, and then check the fluid level on the stick.
Is your Alero a 2.4, a 2.2 ecotec or a 3400?

with a dipstick
First thing that is needed is the motor size(4or6) auto or manual transmission so that the proper information will be given.
Your 2002 Alero has to be lifted up on a hoist and there is a plug that has to be removed. There is no dipstick. Once the plug has been opened you can insert your finger in the hole to see if there is oil in there.

You add fluid at the same place you check it.
A slipping transmission on a 2002 Mitsubishi can be caused by low fluid levels. Check the fluid should be the first step in troubleshooting the issue.
check it while its on and in park
If it is the same as my 2002, my manual says that unless the transmission is leaking, the fluid level SHOULD not go down, so therefore they don't give you one. A dumb idea in my thinking.
