How do you check the transmission fluid on a 1998 Pontiac sunfire THAT HAS NO DIPSTICK?
GM never put a dipstick in the 1998 Pontiac Sunfire. They call it a sealed transmission. If you aren't noticing any leaking from the transmission under the car (pools of red fluid when you've been parked) then your fluid is probably not low. But in my opinion it is always good to change the transmission filter ever 10,000 miles or so. Your transmission pan does not have a drain plug so you will need to remove the pan, drop one corner slowly to help drain the fluid into a bucket, finish removal of the transmission pan, clean all the crud out of there such as dirt/metal flakes, replace the filter, replace the gasket (make sure you get all of the old gasket material off the pan before putting the new one on), then refill the Transmission Fluid back to the level stated in your owner manual. I believe its 7 quarts but always check your owners manual! I have to differ on the fact that some of the 1998 Sunfire 4 door sedans did have a traditional style tube and stick! These were in the 2200 or 2.2 model engines. I own one and and needed to replace the dip stick, I spent hours in junk yards and still never found the right one. So I assume they are not all that common. as such the prior contributor probably didn't know they existed. I myself was stunned when I saw that red dip stick ring sitting there on top the engine (Who whoulda thunk it?)

To check the transmission fluid on a 2004 Pontiac Sunfire, first ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and the engine is running at operating temperature. Locate the transmission dipstick, usually found near the back of the engine bay; pull it out, wipe it clean, reinsert it, and then remove it again to check the fluid level. The fluid should be within the marked range on the dipstick, and if it's low, add the appropriate type of transmission fluid through the dipstick tube. Additionally, check the fluid's color and smell; it should be a bright red and not have a burnt odor.

Is the place to add oil and the oil dipstick one and the same on a 1996 Pontiac sunfire?
Not usually. The dipstick is used to check the oil level. Oil is added where the oil filler cap is - usually located on the valve cover and will screw counterclockwause for removal. That is unless you are talking about transmission fluid in which case the dipstick hole is the same place where you add fluid. On the Sunfire/Cavalier 2.2 engine YES you do add the oil and check the oil in the same place the dipstick is attached to the oil cap.
