GM, in their (not-so) infinite wisdom, built this vehicle during a period of time when they were certain that you would never need to check your Transmission Fluid. In fact, the owner's manual stated that unless you have a visible leak, you don't need to check the fluid level. Well, in the real world, vehicles get older and fluid seepage may occur, and before you know it you're low on transmission fluid. So, in short, there is no good answer as to why, they just didn't want to. Probably what they thought was a cost-cutting measure, even though it didn't keep them from declaring bankruptcy 10 years later, did it?
