How do you check transmission fluid on the 2.2 automatic when there is only a cap on the fill port.

the red cap on top of the transmission..best to take it to a mechanic so you don't over fill...since theres no dip stick to check.

Depends on your engine.

Oilman

are you putting the fluid into the hole under the tin cap?then thats why thats a inspection hole look for the round red cap that's about 1 1/2'' round thats the fill port

CAPACITIES
Automatic transmission, 42LE Initial Fill..........4.6 quarts [1]

automatic transmission, Total Fill
4 speed 42LE..........9.3 quarts
Differential, Front..........1.5 pints [2]

1. With ENG at operating temperature, shift through all gears. Check fluid level in PARK and add fluid as needed.

2. 42LE transaxles built after 7-26-99 fill to 3/8" (9mm) below fill hole.

Hope This Helps.

********Make sure that you use the recommended type flluid ATF+4, as there are several types available. Using the wrong type of fluid will damage your transmission********

Transmission Fluid Fluid Level Checking & Filling To Check:

1. Connect a scan tool to the vehicle to read ATF temperature. ATF checking temperature should be 95° - 113°F (35° - 45°C).
2. Start the engine.
3. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
4. Place a drain pan under the transmission.
5. Allow the ATF temperature to reach 95° - 113°F (35° - 45°C). Automatic transmission fluid inspection plug
   
   
6. Remove the inspection plug from the transmission housing. Fluid is pipe will run out. If fluid continues to drip out, no additional fluid is needed. If only the fluid in the overflow pipe runs out, additional fluid is needed.

To Fill:
Automatic transmission fluid filler pipe

1. Pry the cap from the filler pipe. The cap locking device will be destroyed during removal.
2. Pull the plug from the filler pipe.
3. Add fluid slowly with VAG 1924 or equivalent until fluid runs out of the inspection hole. Install the inspection hole plug.
4. Install the plug in the filler pipe and secure with a new cap.

If it's a four speed automatic it doesn't have a dipstick. You have to remove a plug by the passenger side cv shaft and fill the trans thru the fill cap till it runs from the plug when the engine is running.

TRANSMISSION FILL
To avoid overfilling transmission after a fluid change or overhaul, perform the following procedure:

1. Verify that the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
2. Remove the dipstick tube cap.
3. Add following initial quantity of Mopar ATF +4, Automatic Transmission Fluid, to the transmission:

1. If only fluid and filter were changed, add 5.0 L (10.6 pts.) of transmission fluid to transmission.
2. If the transmission was completely overhauled or the torque converter was replaced or drained, add 7.7 L (16.3 pts.) of transmission fluid to transmission.

1. Check the transmission fluid and adjust as required

You can use Dexron II or Dexron III, but you can also use the improved Dexron VI which replaces both the afore mentioned fluids. Use Dexron VI as it is an improvment. Caution: Do not overfill. Check fluid level according to the instructions in your owner's manual and make sure the car is parked on a level surface or you will get a false reading.

2004 Aleros with auto trans DO NOT have a dipstick under the hood. They do have a filler cap, located on the driver side, look straight down under the edge of the exhaust crossover, black cap with a gear on it. According to the Manuf. the AUTOMATIC Transmission (should not need to be checked unless there is a leak) has a plug in the side just like the manual transmission. You remove the plug in the side and fill thru the top until fluid runs out the side hole. Replace the plug and the fill cap when done.

underneath the car there will be a small check plug use a 11mm wrench. it will be on the transmission just to the rear of the oil drain plug on the side of the trans check it while the car is running. pull the plug, if fluid comes out then its full if not the fill is on the driver side usually a red cap on top of the trans
