Transmission Fluid Problem

Post by jsum »

I drained out the transmission fluid before I figured out where to fill the resivoir back up. Where do I put in the new fluid? I don't see any cap marked transmission fluid.

Is this an obvious thing and I'm just tired and overlooking it. Just had a new kid 6 weeks old, so I'm definantly tired and not thinking clearly. Want to get this car back up and running so I don't have to cart her around in my other car which is a real piece.

Depending on if you have an Auto or Manual, refer to your owners manual. It states where to add fluid for the transmission.Online owner's manuals: http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=1010(look under Service and Appearance Care > Checking Things Under the Hood)Automatic: states to add fluid by removing the dipstick, inserting a long-neck funnel, and filling slowly.Manual: states to remove the filler plug, add fluid.

If you have an Auto tranny, then it fills through the dipstick tube (Orange handle on dipstick) with a funnel. If it's a manual, I would guess there is a fill plug somewhere on the upper half of the tranny.
