The dip stick for my 95 saturn sc2 has been misplaced and i cant seem to find a replacement for it.

Remove valve cover and check for excessive sludge build up that may be restricting oil return passages in cylinder head.

under the dash on the driver side next to the door

this is a so called "sealed transmission" what does this mean?, there is no dip stick, the fluid level is checked by removing a plug on the tranmission case.

trans mission has to be removed from engine !
the front pump seal will need to be replaced!
its a big job & cn be messy !
just get a good transmission specialist to do it !
as it will neeed a service aswell!

firstly it may not be just the fluid because if its driving normally in all forward gears it could be a reverse band failure
If you want to try its on one side of the transmission
its a long tube with a dip stick in it used to check the fluid level!
it will need to be in nuetral & at idle in normal operting temperature range with the hand brake firmly applied! b4 you dip it & see
what the level is
to dip it pull it out wipe it cleane then push it all the way back down the tube & pull it straight back out look at where the fluid is on the stick!
if your not sure do it all again till you have a good reading
id suggest that you just drive it to get it checked but dont get blocked if you cant back up!
Cheers Rob

It is an air intake silencer. It quiets down the motor when you are throttling up.

You probably could if the threads are the same. Aside from military vehicles I have worked on, the Saturn was the first car I worked on with a spin-on trans filter. Most auto parts stores carry the transmission filter for Saturns and they are not that much more than an oil filter.

either it's undercharged or there is something unhooked/ faulty in the electrical system. more than likely undercharged.

the rod bearings are 33 ft/lbs.

Open the hood if it says efiohc or single cam on the valve cover then it is a sc1 if it says dohc or twin cam than it is an sc2
