Dont know the location for the auto transmission ckeck/fill dipst

1999 Isuzu Troopers w/automatic transmissions do not come with a dipstick. It is a sealed transmission just like a manual transmission. The fluid must be checked by removing the fill plug. Emergency brake on, engine running,warmed up ,vehicle in neutral. When removing the fill plug ,which is on the side of transmission- at the top, fluid should slightly drip out. If fluid doesnt drip out you need to add fluid. You will need a small hand pump to fill it.

Similar to the oil dipstick, there is another in the back of the engine, it is coming from the transmission. Usually there handle is painted RED, but that can vary...

Once you locate this, you'll want to have the engine running for about 15 minutes in order to get a correct reading at the reccomended operating temperature,

Remove the Transmission dipstick from the tube and wipe it off with a cloth, paper towel, etc...
Reinsert it in the tube and seat it before removing it again and veryify the level is in the correct range... (Usually noted on the dipstick.)

Not all, but most vehicle manufacturers reccomend checking this while the vehicle is in neutral, so be sure to have the parking brake on and be careful with any loose clothing or shirt sleeves as you dont want to get caught up in a rotating fan...

The tube in which you find the Transmission dipstick, is also the location you will need to add any new fluid through... You'll need a transmission fluid funnel... If you dont know which is which, simply ask to verify this at the part store...

BTW, You could simply drive to a part store such as Napa, Oreillys, Autozone, Shucks, or whatever is available in your neighborhood and ask someone there to help you locate it... as well as the correct fluid...

Hopefully you will find something of use in this.

Good Luck and Happy Motoring...

the trooper has no dipstick for trans its a sealed system on the trans pan you will find a fill plug and a drain plug the one on top inrecess is the one your looking for with the truck in park running remove fill plug fluid level should be just below that hole you can use ur finger to tell



Hope this helps


Positive Feedback ALWAYS appreciated :)

Transmission oil is filled through the transmission dipstick hole. Use a funnel with a thin neck that fits into the dipstick hole.

Remove the transmission dipstick, get a funnel and pour it down the dipstick housing. Replace dipstick and check frequently until full. Hope this helps!

At transmission pan, there will be two drain plugs, the up most drain plug is where you fill it and check level, to check level, with engine running and in park, unscrew up most plug on transmission pan, if fluid come's out, level is good, if no fluid come's out need to add transmission fluid in that drain plug.

There is no dipstick on a manual transmission. On a manual tranny, you check the fluid by pulling the fill plug on the side of the transmission. The fluid is supposed to be even with the bottom of the fill plug hole. Gently stuck your finger in there and on a fully serviced trans. you will feel the fluid on your finger tip. On an auto transmission the dipstick is on the passenger side near the exhaust manifold close to the firewall. Also you fill the trans thru the dipstick. Make sure you use the proper fluid and the correct amount.22

In fact, you can. The large transmission pan has two plugs in the bottom. The higher one is a fill plug. The lower one is a drain plug. The proper procedure for checking the level is: A) Drive vehicle until transmission reaches operating temperature (go for a 30 min drive). B) Park vehicle and apply emergency brake, run gear selector through all gears (engine running, pausing 5 sec.'s in each gear) from Park, down, and back to Park (very important to be in park when checking level). C) Immediately remove the upper fill plug and check level with your finger, it should be just up to the hole, fill as necessary. NOTE: If more than a dribble of fluid drains out when you first open the fill plug then it was overfilled or the procedure was not followed. Use a catch pan under the hole just in case. Filling of the fluid is by means of a small pump and hose, commonly found at auto parts stores.

Lee2fixit doesn't know what he talks about on 99 Rodeos.

There is no dipstick tube - there are two access holes on the side of the transmission. The bottom one is to drain it out. The top one is to fill it back up. It is full when the fluid comes up to the bottom of the top hole.

Or you can take it to a dealer or service center to have it done.

usually there is a dipstick for the tranny fluid. if you can find that you add the fluid through there with a funnel. other wise you will have to look on top of the tranny for a check plug.
