this is for safety so engine does not get ruined,check oil level!!
The first thing to check is that your transmission fluid level is correct. If it is too low the trans cannot pressurize. DO NOT Overfill.
The Malibu began as a trim-level of the 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle, but became its own model line in 1978.
The 1998 Chevy Malibu does not have a transmission dipstick. Instead there is a check plug located on the transaxle, near the pan, adjacent to the engine oil drain plug. Note: the vehicle must be kept level when checking the transmission fluid level. Place an oil container under the check plug and remove it. Observe the fluid as it drips into the pan, indicating correct fluid level. The fluid level should be at the bottom of the check hole. Double check to make sure the car is level. If no fluid drips from the check hole, some fluid should be added via the red cap. But add only a little at a time until the fluid is at the bottom of the check hole.
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.
there is RED CAP on the fill hole it will say TRANS FLUID there is a bolt on passenger side you will remove then check while running to see if fluid runs out. pain to do ..
