u don't it's a manual transmission if i remember right u don't it's a manual transmission if i remember right there is no dipstick for the saturns manual transmission that year
Same place you check the fluid level.
Check
It is ATF
Have ALL the fluid drained and replaced with the exact fluid that Saturn recommends. Use not other fluid. Do not flush.
there is a check plug on the side of transmission. there is no dipstick. keep adding fluid until it comes out of check plug, then you are good to go.
on the transmission
There is a plug on the side of the tranny. take it out. If fluid runs out, put the plug back in the hole and get on with life. If no fluid runs out, check your manual for what transmission fluid to use. Fill it till it runs out at the plug a bit. Be sure to use the transmission fluid recommended for Chevy S10 5 speed manual transmissions.
if you change filter @4.5 to 5 qts
There is no stick on a manual transmission, you check the fluid with the fill plug
There is no stick on a manual transmission, you check the fluid with the fill plug
QUOTE::::On the side of the transmission there will be a plug. remove the plug and check the fluid level. If fluid pours out when you remove it, that means the transmission is full.. if not, add fluid through this hole till it pours out. This information is completely wrong! There is no fill plug on the escort GT manual trans.. the fill hole and level check are the speed sensor... remove the 10mm bolt twist and pull up the speed sensor, re-fill, and if the plastic gear on the speed sensor is wet, it is full.
The speed sensor on a 1999 Saturn SL1 is under the transmission. It is below the fittings for the transmission cooler lines.
