Low Auto Trans FluidYou can check the fluid level on the dip stick located in the engine compartment. It will be labeled as such (Transmission Fluid). This must be checked when the engine is running and at running temperature. Very simple to do.

EDIT:

While the answer provided by someone else (above) is correct on most makes and models, it is incorrect in regards to the the sunfire of production years 2000 and up. There is no dipstick on a 2000 sunfire as I have owned two and know from first hand experience (2.2 and 2.4 although not GT) GM decided that since the fluid never really needs replacing for the life of the vehicle that they could scrap the dipstick all together. Fortunately there is a very accessable red cap on the top of the transmission (driver side) which is labeled. Either take your car in to the mechanic, or top it up yourself. Just be carefull not to add too much fluid or the pressure could cause a leak and possibly a fire should it spill onto the exhaust or engine from what ive been told (informed by a mechanic).

How do you check the level of transmission fluid in a 2000 Pontiac sunfire?

as far as i know you cant check the transmission fluid on a 2000 Pontiac sunfire. It uses dexcool automatic transmission fluid and very rarley needs to be changed, i have a manual shift and it never has to be changed. Actually the only way that you can change it is by having it flushed the same way you flush a radiator, it has to be sucked out by a machine.
