When you pull the dip stick out to check the Transmission Fluid, If you can't see through the fluid on the stick then change it. If it smells burnt change it.
If it is clear and pretty red then it is okay.
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.
easy if you add fluid get transmission serviced filter and fluids changed and bands checked
National Tire & Battery is a reliable place that will change your transmission fluid for you. They can also test your transmission fluid to let you know if it needs changing.
If you don't know when it was changed last, Then I would change the fluid and filter and then you know what you have got. Then it will be good as long as you can see through the fluid on the dip stick.
It really should be changed every 30,000 miles. It is cheaper than a transmission overhaul.
it does'nt..dodge made the cars with a cable clutch or is the transmission low on fluid? use 5w30 motor oil ........ only use transmission fluid if its automatic
It is important to know how much fluid a car needs to run smoothly. A 1999 Buick Park Ave will need between five and seven quarts of transmission fluid.
when i put my car i reverse or drive it pulls hard or when it's changing gear
needs just a quart of trans oil but don't know where to put it
It's not an easy question. The most obvious hints are grinding noise coming from transmission, car will drive, transmission will not shift to some particular gear or some of them. But before blaming transmission make sure that you have changed the transmission fluid and the fluid level is correct.
Your chain is streched
I am trying to change the oil transmission on my ford ranger 1998 but I do not know what kind of oil it needs. it's a 4 cylender
