Where is the transmission dipstick located on a 1996 Chevy Cavalier?

If it is a manual, and like a 1997 cavalier, it will be located below the brake fluid reservoir, buried under hoses and is marked "trans". I was able to get to it in a 1997 from above, but scraped the heck out of my arm. Probably best to get at it from below, but so far I have only tried once, so don't know if from below is easier!

Why do you lose brake pressure?

You ONLY lose brake pressure if you have a leak somewhere ! - This can be in any wheel cylinder , the master cylinder, or a fractured brake line. Till you find the leak, keep your master cylinder topped up daily.If the brake fluid reservoir remains full and the brake pedal sinks to the floor as you are waiting at a stop light, the master cylinder is at fault.

Do 1997 ZO Corvette brake calipers fit a 1996 Corvette?

I can only assume that Z0, means Z06. There was not a Z06, in 97. And the brake calipers are the same for the two years.


Where do you put Transmission fluid on a 1996 Chevy Cavalier?

If it is the same as a 1997 cavalier, manual, you will open the hood, look almost directly below the brake fluid reservoir near the back right area of the hood, near the base of the drivers side windshield wiper. Below the brake reservoir, below several hoses, etc., you will see a flip cap handle marked "trans", if I remember correctly. I scraped the heck out of my arm just to get to it, and you can only use fluid purchased from the dealership or else void any warranties. If it's a manual, sorry, I have no idea!
