Okay there is no dipstick for the Transmission Fluid because the GM company wants you to take it in to spend over 100 bucks to get it done. You shouldn't need to change your transmission fluid till like at least 55,000 miles. and if you want to do it yourself you need to make up a special funnel yourself .
The location on the 2.2 engine is to the right on the engine oil cap. You have to look down though at few tubes and you will see the cap half way down. Such a pain to look for so use a flashlight unless you are in really bright light.
And if you want to actually go about changing it yourself you will need a Allen key and whatever amount of fluid goes into it. I have yet to do mine but I found out where I need to add it and found out where to let the old fluid out. Hope this helps. I found it on YouTube .
There is no transmission dipstick in a 2005 cvhevy cobalt
The transmission dipstick, On a 2008 Chevy cobalt, can be found at the back of the engine compartment, near the center. The dipstick handle will be bright yellow.
Chevy Cobalt has a sealed Automatic Transmission... no dip stick. Probably best to take it in to get service by trans shop if you think it needs changing or re-filling. Thanks, Wes
there is not one it is a sealed trans \
Yes with the front tiers off the ground.
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.
The transmission is sealed. It is intended to never need to be checked or changed. Check out this link for more info: http://www.ecotecforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2801
It is bolted in the valve body that is inside of the transmission.
here its in a pic below-
If it is an automatic transmission, the cooler in the radiator is most likely leaking into the coolant system.
The average gas mileage of a Chevy Cobalt LTZ with an automatic transmission is 24 miles per gallon in the city and 34 miles per gallon on the highway. For the Cobalt LTZ with a manual transmission the gas mileage is slightly better at 26 miles per gallon in the city and 37 miles per gallon on the highway. Those figures are from the U.S. E.P.A.
The most common cause for transmission slip is low trans fluid level. The cobalt doesnt have a dipstick to check the fluid. You have to get under the car and while the engine is at normal operating temperature (AND STILL RUNNING) remove the transmission oil level plug that is located on the passenger side of the trans near where the CV axle enters the transmission. Pour fluid into the TOP of the transmission until fluid come out of the oil level plug hole. The filler hole for the transmission is marked by a red cap, just behind the oil filter canister (driver side of the engine compartment). The transmission automatically sets is fluid level using that hole. It sounds difficult, but its really not.
