To check the Transmission Fluid level in a 1989 Ford E350, start the engine and let it warm up to normal operating temperature. With the engine running, locate the transmission dipstick, usually found near the back of the engine bay. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it, and then remove it again to check the fluid level. The fluid should be between the "Full" and "Add" marks on the dipstick; add fluid if necessary, ensuring it's the correct type for your vehicle.
There is no external transmission reservoir. Transmission fluid is stored in the transmission. Fluid is added at the same point at which you check the fluid level.

To add transmission fluid to a 1989 Plymouth Horizon, locate the transmission dipstick tube, which is typically near the back of the engine compartment. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, and insert it back into the tube to check the fluid level. If it’s low, use a funnel to add the appropriate type of transmission fluid through the dipstick tube until it reaches the proper level. Always ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and check the fluid level with the engine running in park.
Add it the same place you check it, through the dipstick tube. Check the level with the transmission hot, in park, engine running, on level ground. Use only Dexron fluid. Do not overfill!!!!!
The 1989 Pontiac Sunbird with a 5-speed manual transmission does not have a traditional transmission dipstick like automatic transmissions. Instead, to check the transmission fluid level, you need to locate the fill plug on the side of the transmission case. It's typically a hex or square plug that can be removed to check the fluid level; the fluid should be at the level of the fill hole. If necessary, you can add fluid through this hole using a pump or funnel.
You add automatic transmission fluid to a 1989 V6 3.0 Toyota pickup truck through the filler tube in the engine compartment. This is also used to check the fluid level.
On level ground, remove the filler bolt. Carefully feel inside (or if you can get a good look with a light), the appropriate level is to have the fluid right at the edge of the bolt hole.
The location of all transmission fill locations (if your unable to find a plug on the transmission itself) is where you check your transmission fluid dipstick. Pour fluid down the very small drain with a small funnel slowly. Check your level then add the appropriate amount. Start your engine (to warm it up because it is much thicker) and fill until fluid is at the max level. Never overfill transmission fluid.
Assuming you are asking about an automatic transmission, the transmission fluid is added through the tube where the dipstick is located. Pull out the dipstick and using a funnel add a little fuid at a time, check the level often because you do not want to overfill the transmission - you want the fluid in between the marks on the dipstick. If you are asking about a manual transmission, there is a screw plug on the side of the transmission somewhat higher than the center of the body. Unscrew the plug and use your finger to feel the level of the fluid. A manual transmission is full when the level of the fluid is at the bottom level of the hole. Be sure and use the correct fluid, whether it be transmission fluid or lube.
The 1989 Mitsubishi transmission fluid tank can be found on the bottom of the transmission. The transmission fluid tank is known as the transmission fluid pan.
