Manual transmissions don't require fluid. Yes!!! manual transmissions also requires fluid. Drain plug is located under the transmission. It requires a 15/16 wrench. The fill plug is located on the side of the tranny towards the front of the vehicle.
Many of the newer vehicles do not have a transmission dip-stick. There should be and inspection/fill hole on the side of the transmission. Remove the plug and fill with with the proper fluid untill the fluid is at the bottom of the fill hole.
Remove the plug from the bottom of your 2000 Chevy transmission. Allow the transmission to completely drained out. Return the transmission plug to its original position. Fill the transmission with new fluid.
The Geo Prizm A131L typically uses automatic transmission fluid (ATF) for its differential, specifically a fluid that meets the requirements of the manufacturer. It's essential to use the recommended type, often Dexron III or a similar specification, to ensure proper lubrication and performance. Always consult the owner's manual for the specific fluid type and capacity for your vehicle model and year.
The fluid could be too low to allow the transmission to shift. Depending on where the fluid leak is, the leak could be through a bad solenoid or soaking electrical connections, stopping the transmission from shifting.
IMO the answer is yes, as the vast majority of manual transmission 2wd vehicles can be towed wheels down, but as I am not 100% sure on your Prizm, call your local Toyota or Geo dealer for a definitive answer.IMO the answer is yes, as the vast majority of manual transmission 2wd vehicles can be towed wheels down, but as I am not 100% sure on your Prizm, call your local Toyota or Geo dealer for a definitive answer.
Is it manual or automatic ???? Dextron III Mercon = automatic Dextron III Mercon = Manual
just enought to make it say "full" on the dip stick :)
Unless you have a donor car that you can remove the necessary parts from this is a bad idea. The cost involved would be prohibitive. Sell this 1996 Prizm and then buy a manual one. There are many good manual transmission Prizm's and it's twin Toyota Corolla's out there. Your A/T equipped Prizm is worth more than the same car with a manual. Going from a A/T to a manual is almost always a bad idea. Going from manual to auto is a much easier conversion.
To read the transmission dipstick on a 1992 Geo Prizm, first ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and the engine is warmed up. With the engine running, remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, then reinsert it fully and remove it again to check the fluid level. The fluid should be within the designated marks on the dipstick; if it's low, add the recommended transmission fluid. Also, inspect the fluid's color and smell for signs of contamination or burning.
Either jack the car up and put it on jack-stands or pull it up on a set of ramps. On the lower front side of the transmission there is a plug. Remove it. If fluid runs out, you are okay. If not, you need to take a syringe or something similar and add fluid until it starts to come back out. It's now full and you re-install the plug.
I need to know the same thing but for those who tag it as adding transmission fluid, you're wrong. The automatic has a separate differential with its own fluid.
