Not sure why you ask the question. You probably check the trans fluid level with the fluid warmed up and engine running. If you have an Owner's Manual, check there for the procedure. If you don't have one, I suggest checking the level as I show above, then add fluid if needed in small amounts with the engine running, check the level after adding every SMALL amount (you do not want to overfill the trans. and stop adding when it's between add and full.

transmission oil is red pull the dipstick out & check the color, also the transmission dipstick is a lot longer than the engine dipstick......hope this helps.....cheers

what size engine?

Usually you just fill with a funnel, unless it is at an awkward position.

I suggest bring the vehicle to a repair shop to :
a) check for leaks and ATF condition ( burnt smell ,shavings, and coolant in ATF) Any one of these conditions may indicate a rebuild.
b) if no leaks are found and ATF is in decent condition fill tranny to proper level and check for slipping.
c) if slipping doesn't happen after level is brought up to specs, DO a transmission oil filter and ATF change.(and be thankful you gotta away cheap.
d) if slipping still happens after level has been topped off
they(repair shop) will either "Stall Test it or pressure check the transmission " Good luck

Auto Trans.and manual Rodeo has no dipstick. Fluid levels must be checked from underneath the vehicle on a lift at the shop. It can only be filled from underneath the vehicle as well.

YOU NEED LOCATE DIP STICK ON BACK END OF ENGINE NEAR AIR INTAKE DUCT.YOUR CAR HAS TO BE OPERATING TEMPERATURE LIKE DRIVE IT FEW MILES.WHEN CHECK YOUR DIP STICK YOUR TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL SHOULD BE AT FULL MARK.IF NOT ADD A LITTLE AT A TIME DONT OVERFILL.WILL CAUSE TRANSMISSION DAMAGE.

I have a 1995 rodeo with an automatic. the fluid level is measured on the dipstick, which is next to the oil dip stick on the v-6 anyway. you add fluid by removing a plug unedr the vehicle mounted up near the center of the transmission.

If you can't find a dipstick you must fill and check through the level plug in the side of the trans ( usually just above the pan rail on the drivers side)
