Generally speaking, engine compartment, close to the fire wall ... passenger side. Still cant find it, drop into your Isuzu dealer and ask them to show you ...

In your previous posts, you did not mention if the transmission was working or if you just wanted to change the fluid. With a dash light on, chances are though it's not working. I've received too many "poor" ratings for good answers lately but I'll stick my neck out again on this one.
Aamco people are trained to force you into having the unit rebuilt. That training even extends to how they answer the phone....try calling several of their shops and you will see what I mean. (same exact words and questions). Your transmission light tells you that either there is something wrong inside the unit, OR that a sensor, shift solenoid or the controller (which relies on info obtained from the engine sensors) has a problem. I would have the system checked out by a private shop with a good reputation before I did anything else. Changing the fluid will not harm anything but if the unit itself is broken, it's a waste of $. A good shop will run a diagnostics scan (electronic) and even do a few pressure tests (external) before they even think about removing the pan and looking inside (unless the problem is obvious). In order for you to make an informed decision about what to do with it, you first need to have good reliable info. Being short on funds puts you in a bad place, but that means you need to have some idea exactly what's wrong before you spend $ on anything!!!
No one on-line can give you that info....we cannot do the necessary tests. Only thing I can tell you is that if the fluid smells very burned, is black or has fine metal flakes in it, likely it does have an internal problem.

Adding fluid is easy, you only need a long, clean funnel to insert into the dipstick tube. You check it when the engine has been warmed up and the car has been driven a few miles, check it on a level surface, engine running. Changing is a little more involved, and can be messy-you remove the pan, bolt by bolt, working around the bottom until it starts to drip, then pour fron the trans. It is a lot of fluid (about 6 quarts) so you need a large and wide drain pan to catch the trans fluid and rags to mop up what misses the pan. Remove the pan, and pull down the filter, it is just press fitted into the valve body. Use a lintless rag to clean up the bottom of the valve body, then install a new filter. You normally do not have to install a new pan gasket, but the kit you get with the filter will include one-if your gasket looks at all like it is compromised, replace it. After it is all buttoned up, you fill it with fluid through the dipstick, and if I removed 6 quarts, I add 4, start it up, then add in increments of 1/2 quart until it is within the hatch marks on the dipstick. It is not a difficult job, but it is messy and time consuming.

OH YES IT DOES!!! look on this sit and it will show you EXACTLY how to put one in. :) PLEASE RATE THIS!! James Boothhttp://www.vw-resource.com/flywheel.html

your owners manual should tell you what oil is prefered.

It just snaps on and off, but be very careful and pull evenly or you will break it.

check all ur vacuum lines.

There are fuses associated with the security system that you might try pulling out. The car may not start though if the circuit is not made.

You might want to consider buying a new remote. It can be programmed to your car and you can leave the security system intact.

take it to a brake specialist and have them check your power booster for your brakes.

follow top rad hose thermostat is on one end radiator is on the other....

you really need to warm it up bcoz the oils needs to warm and circulate around the gears in order for it to move the way its supposed to, if you keep driving it cold, its basically making friction by rubbing metal to metal and thats what 's causing slips..

Yes, it most likely will be a costly proposition if you take it to the dealer. It's difficult to diagnose a problem with most vehicles in this situation due to the many possibilities. The FIRST thing you could do is to find out what the engine control unit (ECU or Engine computer) is detecting as a problem. This is usually a free service that is performed by local auto parts companies like Autozone etc. Try that first to see what component is failing then you can move on from there.

My 1997 Rodeo has (4) screws to take out for removing the tail light assembly from the car. At the back of it are (2) additional screws that are removed to pop the center lense out. Underneath the lens is where the bulb is located.

It would be because the transmission more likely. Make sure your trany fluid is at the correct level. Make sure it is not leaking. If it has been awhile since you changed the transmission filter and fluid, it probably needs it. The filter may be clogged if it has never been changed.

That means there is a big problem whenever it flashes. You need to get it in and get the code asap. When it flashes, they call that a major issue. Be careful and go asap. Autozone checks for free but you probably need a mechanic.

the engine oil pumps are in the rear of the engine(trans out) and behind flexplate /flywheel, were any of these 2 engine oil pumps touched if so the flywheel /flexplate has to be timed to crankshaft position, so you might have it in the wrong position, if your talking about the diesel lift pump (injector pump) that also supplies high pressure engine oil to injectors, after replacing this there is a learn procedure for the rail pressure control valve that is on pump. this can only be done by dealer or some one with Tech2 scanner tool.
