The 2002 5R55w doesn't use a indicator or filler tube.
The fluid is added using a special tool to pump fluid back in through the stand pipe, which is where you probably drained it from. I found using a suction gun to suck the fluid out of bottle and then push it in through stand pipe works for me. The trick here is that to properly adjust the fluid level the fluid temperature has to be between 80-120 degrees F with the engine running at idle. With the plug out of the stand pipe there should be a fine stream to a steady dip just coming out the pipe.
doesnt have one it is a sealed non serviceable unit
it doesnt have one vw thought that the trany fluid would never need to be changed
it doesnt have a dipstick. the malibu's have a sealed transmission that shouldn't need service for up to 100,000 miles. there is a trans fluid cap under the throttle body and exhaust.
doesnt have one
It doesnt have one. Since about 1995 or so, most smaller transmissions have what is called a 'sealed' transmission. You will have to take it to a mechanic you trust to check it out or to the Chevy dealer. The easiest way to make sure it is correct is to take it to a Quick lube and have the transmission serviced.
I got a 1997 explorer sport with control trac 4wd. its suppose to but it doesnt work.
The dipstick is located on the right hand side of the engine bay towards the back under the throttle cables. they tend to get in the way of pulling out the dipstick straight out. make sure the car is running while checking the tranny fluid.. cougarts are known to have tranny issues so while checking it make sure the fluid is clean and still red and doesnt have a burnt smell to it... hope this helps
If it's automatic: Look in your owners manual and look for the location of the transmission dipstick and filling location. Most of the time the dipstick and filling locations for an automatic transmission are fairly accessible (near the top of the engine). To check: pull out the transmission dipstick and look at the level. There should be markings or words saying "Add" or "Fill". Also note there may be instructions for determining the level if the transmission is hot or cold (if you've just driven it or not). Then when you've determined the level, add at the appropriate area, check as needed. If manual, Same thing, except manual fluid usually doesnt need changing unless you wanna be on the safe side and exchange every 30K miles. Follow instructions as automatic but note that manual fluid runs fairly cool so you may not have to deal with the hot and cold issues.
If it is automatic....check the cable.
it doesnt have one.
i had the same problem. but guess what a 99 jetta doesnt have a dipstick for the tranny fluid it has a sealed lifetime transmission fluid. so you dont have to worry about it. i was going to change it and the mechanic asked "are you sure you want to do that?" i chuckled and asked why and he said that its like 400 dollars to change the fluid. i then choked and walked out the door. lol hope that helps
A manual transmision doesnt use transmision fluid
