Drain the oil system completely - and leave overnight with the sump plug removed to get rid of as much of the Transmission Fluid as possible.

Replace the sump plug and re-fill with a quality grade oil.

How do you check the transmission fluid in 2001 VW Jetta?

I ASSUME YOU MEAN AUTOMATIC TRANS. IF IT IS NOT LEAKING THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON TO CHECK IT IF IT IS OR REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DONE, A DEALER IS YOUR BEST BET, THE FLUID HAS TO BE A SPEC TEMP AND VEHICLE UP ON A LIFT TO ACCESS PLUG ON BOTTOM OF PAN, IT CANNOT BE ON A JACK TILTING BACKWARDS Also be sure that you do not add the wrong kind of fluid. Many people make this mistake, and add hydrolic trans fluid that you would buy of the shelf. My 1997 jetta auto trans used vw specific trans fluid the was mineral spirits. You could damage a maintence free trans with the wrong fluids.


Why not flushing when putting the transmission fluid in Honda?

you can flush if you wish, but at a cost.

It is called "lifetime trans fluid". That is true, if you never change it your trans will die and thus it did last the trans lifetime. Have it changed by a pro with correct ZF trans fluid, it will cost about $30.00 per qt. but you will ruin the trany if you use any other kind.

What happen if you dont fill your transmission fluid up?

If the transmission is low on fluid then the pump that circulates fluid through the transmission and gives it the hydraulic pressure that allows it to work will cease to function. If you are low/out of trans fluid you should empty it completely and change the trans pan gasket and trans filter while you are at it (usually less than $15 if you are doing it yourself). If you continue driving the vehicle without trans fluid it will break the transmission.
