For an automatic transmission, check the fluid level on the ATF dipstick. Refer to your owner's manual for the location of the dipstick.

If the level is low, use a funnel to add more ATF by pouring it into the ATF dipstick tube. Be sure to use the right kind of ATF. The new "D/M" ATFs can be used in most cars.

Why wont your 92 sierra shift out of first gear?

Most likely cause is that the auto transmission is low on fluid. The only accurate way to check the level of transmission fluid is to have the engine running (at normal operating temperature - like after a 10 mile trip) and check that fluid level. If it's low, add as required, but a little at a time. An overfilled transmission can be just as harmful as one that is running low on fluid.

The first thing to check is transmission fluid level. Start the car and let it warm up to normal running temperature. With the engine still running, pull the dipstick for the transmission fluid and verify that it's in the "hot" range. If you are low on fluid, look for any transmission fluid leaks. Look primarily around the oil seals where the axel enters the transmission, and inspect the gasket for the transmission pan.
