Have you pulled out the dip stick to check your trans fluid? You put the fluid in the same hole. Pour slowly as it takes the fluid slow. The transmission is a sealed unit, there is no dip stick. Only if it leaks does it need to be serviced. no, the check area is under the car. you take a bolt out and you can see if the fuid goes up to the top of the threaded part, best to be done by a service center. The 4L30E transmission, like their BMW (92-98 4L30E) conterparts are a totally sealed unit. The service hole to check the fluid is also the where you add fluid. This sealed unit is filled like a manual tranmission, thru the service/check hole. be patient when doing this to make sure you have adequate amount of fluid in. when it takes no more and slightly dribbles out of the service hole then it is full.
where can i add transmission fluid on a cadillac catera 1998 you don't, they are maint. free so no dip stick. if there is a problem with it, dealer or trans shop.
You don't. It is a sealed unit.
The Catera transmission does not have a dip stick or gauge to check the oil. The transmission is a sealed unit, there is no need to add oil.
There isn't one. It only has a filler hole on the tranny itself. It is a sealed unit....maint. free. you don't add fluid to it
through the transmission dipstick tube.
There's a star-shaped cap behind the battery (closer to the windshield) on the driver's side of the engine compartment. That's where the power steering fluid goes (I use dexron III automatic transmission fluid).
. You cannot check it because its a sealed system you must go to a shop. you cannot add any tran fluid because its sealed. . Let me add something here. I just changed my transmission in my 1997 Catera. You have to raise the vehicle level. Go under and while the engine is running and up to operating temperature just like any automatic transmission. There is a filler bolt on the passenger side of the transmission. That bolt comes out and you use a pump to pump out the fluid to transmission. You know it is full when it starts to come out the hole. Fluid level suppose to be to the bottom of the thread of the bolt hole. This is very similar to manual trans-axles not hard to do once your car is up off the ground. I have changed 5 Catera Transmissions in the last 2 years. In different cars.
Through the fluid dipstick tube. Ensure you check level will idling....
The only way to Add transmission fluid is from up underneath the car where the transmission is.unless you can jack the car up yourself.Its designed for the person to take to dealership.but if you can jack it up you can add fluid where the transmmission housing case is
No since there is no need to add transmission fluid unless there is a leak and should take it to a dealer and there is also a fluid life indicator message
It may not have a place. Some GM transmissions are sealed for life. You add fluid the same place you check it. If there is no place to check it, then it is sealed.
I Had the same Problem. I change my Transmission screen and replace the gasket. this solved my problem.
