Yes by filling through the transmission dipstick tube, if you have a "fill for life" model without a dipstick tube, you will need to get under the car and on the side of the transmission look for an alen head socket about half way up the side, fill with the correct fluid until the fluid is level with the alan socket you removed, when it starts to flow out ,there is plenty in the transmission, be careful, it has been debated by engineers that a car that has over 100k miles and never has had the fluid replaced should be left alone, as the wearing and viscosity of the fluid will change with new fluid hence the phrase "fill for life " fluid. This fluid is usually recognized as atf+2,3,4.. dexron and mercon are servicable fluids

Where do I put in transmission fluid on aBuick Rainier 2004 someone told my wife not put it down the dipstick?

Buick has been developed sophisticated transmissions through years and it is critical that you add the exact type of transmission fluid stipulated by your owner's manual (typically in the back of the manual in a section titled Fluid Capacities.) When adding transmission fluid to your Rainier, be sure to add it slowly as the transmission fluid capacity is reached quickly and it is difficult to remove excess fluid if you overfill. You can add fluid through the dipstick tube! Hope this helps. May god bless!

Where to add&how transmission fluid 08 pontiac torrent

This model was unfortunately not designed to have a transmission dipstick. In order to check the transmission fluid you will need to have your vehicle level on jack stands. It is advisable to have someone with a hydraulic lift or underground bay available to reduce injury. You will need to get underneath your vehicle and locate the transmission. With the engine running; cycle through each gear. With the engine warm there will be a check valve or fill plug. You will be able to remove the fill plug and if there is transmission fluid that comes out in a steady stream; the transmission fluid is not low. If transmission fluid doesn't drizzle out then you will need to have a fluid transfer hand pump available to put some transmission fluid back in. You should have a stream of fluid coming out when enough is put in. Good luck!

I have a 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe and I accidently put motor oil in the A/T oil spot. What should I do?

Don't run the engine at all. If it was started, the transmission pump will have pumped the motor oil all through the transmission-go have it professionally flushed. If the engine was not started, drop the transmission pan to drain the fluid, and get a new transmission filter. Put it back together and run the engine until the transmission fluid gets hot. Then change the fluid and filter again. After this, monitor the transmission fluid dipstick. If any traces of more motor oil in the pink fluid, do the drain and change filter a third time. (buy a case of transmission fluid-each drain and change will take about 6 quarts.)

Very difficult at times to get into gear on my 2007 grand vitara. At times when in gear cannot change gear at all but other times moves through gears freely. What is the problem?

if this is an automatic transmission, check your transmission fluid level. The fluid should be red, if it is orange/ brown colour and smells burnt. Will need to be changed. Take it somewhere to have fluid and filter changed. If you are mechanically inclined try flushing the fluid through the transmission. Disconnedt the driver side transmission cooling rubber line from bottom of rad. place the end of the hose in a large container. Put parking brake on, turn on vehicle and put into drive. the transmision fluid with pump out into container. Watch how fast it pumps out. When the fluids stops coming out, shut off engine and put back into park. Next drain remaining fluid out of transmission pan. There is 9/19 or 14mm bolt for this on bottom side of transmission. When this is done, refill transmission and repeat. This time you are flushing all the extra **** out of the transmission. Again check thre flow rate of the fluid coming out. It will come out faster this time. When finished replace transmission fluid again with new clean fluid. This should help free your shifting. When starting the engine for the first time. Put the brake on and put the shifter in 1st for a few seconds , then 2nd and drive, then reverse. This will also allow the fluid to begin to circulate.
If the transmission fluid was dark brown or black it would be wise to replace filter when you finish flushing transmission. To do this you have to disconnect the 4 wheel drive shaft to get pan off. Try just flushing the transmission first. I will look again in couple of days for your reply.

Where does on put in transmition fluid?

Before you put transmission fluid in, make sure it needs it. Check the transmission fluid with vehicle warm, engine running, emergency brake set and transmission in neutral. Pull the dipstick and wipe it off. Insert the dipstick back into the dipstick tube completely and then pull it back out. The fluid level should be between the two marks on the bottom of the dipstick. If it needs fluid pour the fluid into the dipstick tube (using a funnel). Only add about 1/2 quart of fluid at a time before you recheck it. Do not over fill the fluid.

Transmission fluid

NO, there is a transmission dipstick to check the level of transmission fluid, this is also where you would add transmission fluid if it is low.
