You have to check in the actual transmission. Jack the car up (make sure it's level or you won't get an accurate reading) then take out the bolt on the back of the tranny and put your finger in it. It should be almost level with the hole, if not than add some. You can do this with a bucket of Transmission Fluid and a pump attached to hose...or, simply run a hose from the transmission fluid container to the transmission, hold the bottle above the car, so you'll need a long hose, and let gravity do the work. Once it starts to spill out a tiny bit, then you know your set and just put the bolt back.
You don't fill it.
My 1982 C10 Custom Deluxe holds 3 and a half quarts of transmission fluid.
Dexron III Automatic Transmission Fluid
A type of automatic transmission fluid used in GM vehicles
If automatic, change fluid and filter. If manual, need clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing. If none of these work then, you are in for a real treat moneywise.
I went to Lincoln Tech Auto school and the Professor in my Automatic Transmissions class told me the best thing to do, to clean out your engine is to put Automatic Transmission fluid in it and run it over the weekend and then change it out with regular motor oil.
