Where to top off trani fluid - 2006 Suzuki Aerio SX

if there is a leak then i suggest you get the line replaced , i expect it's part of the trans fluid cooling system

For a 2002 Ls, checking the trany fluid must be done on a lift, theres a level checking and also adding plug on the bottom of the trany, even to add fluid you will need a pump to pump fluid into bottom of the trany pan, theres no dip stick on these cars, and car must be level. you can try doing this on the ground , you will see the plug on the trany pan, you remove the allen screw, size 3/16 allen key, and fluid should drain out, you should see a stream and that means its full, heres a few diagrams of the trany check plug, good day,

On this would be alot easier on a lift, on the front of the trany theres a fill and drain plug,the top one is the fill, remove the plug and the trany oil should be 0- 5 mm from fill hole, MAKE SURE CAR IS LEVEL!, add if needed, is fluid is needed have car checked for leaks, when installing plug replace gasket with new one and torque to 29 ft lbs.hope this helps,note; make sure to use toyota fluid type ws only.

there is a small filler neck in frt. of the trany , with red cap on it. Brake the cap , there will be a plug under.
Proccedure : engine on idle , take of plug at the bottom of trany oil pan(with engine on idle!!!!! , if engine off , fluid will leak out) , use transfering pump to pump oil in to filler neck untill it starts leaking from bottom plug , wiat till it only drips , put bottom plug back in and torque it. Now you can shut engine off and seal filler neck.
Use only approved trany fluid .This trany takes syntetic fluid.

either its over filled or building too much pressure,which means you would have a blockage in the line or raidator!!!

Could be, how is the trani fluid level and color? Trani fluid should be changed every 20k miles. Was the trani fluid serviced recently, if so can you verify that the correct trani fluid type was used?

The automatic transmission fluid goes in the same place where the Trani dipstick is.. It is called the filler tube.. Just use a funnel..

When checking the fluid - have the engine running in park..
Trani fluid is measured in pints not quarts on the dipstick..

The shifting problem might not be from low Trani fluid.. It could be caused by other things..

IF the fluid is low - that could cause the trani to slip and cause internal damage..

Good luck..

did you change the transmission fluid

Ford ATF is different from Dexron. Ford fluid contains banana oil, Dexron doesn't. Use only what it calls for. Or, you will always wonder. Good Luck.

There should be a screw on the front of the trani near the coolant lines. With the engine off you unscrew the filler cap. That's on top of the trani on the driver's side. It has a little gear in fluid symbol on it. Then you take out the screw on the front and fill until fluid comes through the hole left by the screw. Remember to use Dex VI.
