This is a 4t40E transaxle and it has no dipstick. The way the fluid is checked is through the check plug like a manual trans is checked. With the engine running and the transaxle at the correct temp the oil should be at the bottom of the hole. The only way to check the transaxle temp is with a scan tool. So As you can tell you need to take this vehicle to a transmission shop to have the oil checked.
The transmission dipstick on a 1994 Pontiac Sunfire is located on the left side of the engine. It connects to the transmission via a long tube which also allows for adding transmission fluid.
Same place you check the fluid level. Some have sealed transmissions, there is no dipstick, there is a red knob on top of transmission that says transmission fluid
You add fluid at the same place you check the fluid level. Takes a special funnel. If there is no place to check the level, then it is a sealed for life transmission.
The filter is located inside the transmission just inside the bottom pan.
Some early model Sunfires have a dipstick. In my '96, the dipstick is located near the firewall, down and inboard from the brake fluid reservoir.
There's no dipstick on a Sunfire that new. You need to add fluid at the transaxle itself. There's a plug in the side of the transaxle that needs to be removed to check or fill the fluid.
i belive on a manual transmission its acually located on the transmission should be like a 18mm to a 22mm fill plug usually located on the driver side of the transmission if you can check it from the top you can fill from the top but i don't belive manual trans have a dip stick if you remove the plug on the side of the transmission and fluid comes out its full you may have to check fluid specs with your local dealership or parts store to ensure proper fluid
as far as i know you cant check the transmission fluid on a 2000 Pontiac sunfire. It uses dexcool automatic transmission fluid and very rarley needs to be changed, i have a manual shift and it never has to be changed. Actually the only way that you can change it is by having it flushed the same way you flush a radiator, it has to be sucked out by a machine.
All of the transmission fluid is inside the transmission. There is no external reserve.
There's probably no dipstick on a Sunfire that new. You need to add fluid at the transaxle itself. There's a plug in the side of the transaxle that needs to be removed to check or fill the fluid.
When changing the transmission fluid of any car, it is important to know how much fluid to put in. A 2001 Pontiac Sunfire takes 2.5-3 quarts of transmission fluid.
it doesnt have adip stick it has a bolt in the side of trans better take to dealer
