If its an automatic .there will be a dip stick near the front of the engine i think its got an orange ring pull if its a Manuel there is a hex bolt on the side of the gear box \[big enough to add fluid through a tube if you open it and clean fluid run out .then its enough .but if you open it and dirty fluid runs out then it requires changing .dont over fill .this will do more harm than good .its best to let a garage do it { a quick fit type place will do it for about 30 pounds }

    why do you want to replace the fluid? has the vehicle done 100k or over ? because unless the fluid has turned a dirty brown colour or is leaking .a top up should all that's required .and to do that you need a funnel and fill through the dip stick hole ..DONT over fill it will kill the gearbox ..if you need to replace the gear oil make sure that you use the correct fluid and locate the hex bolt on the side /bottom of the gear box {you will Ned the vehicle of a ramp to do this safely .the drain all the oil out .make sure that the engine is OFF .the replace the plug i am not too sure exactly where it is but it should be somewhere on the gear box housing..it holds nearly 8 liters .like i said before a top up should be all that's needed .and i would go to a garage to fully drain and refill because if you get it wrong you could be looking at an expensive repair ..remember over filling is as bad as under filling good luck

    Thank you again, it's got a slight leak and wanted to save a few quid, but will take your advice and take it ti a garage, it's too good a car to bugger it up trying to save a couple of quid.
    Thanks again!

How to check transmission fluid level

Most 1995-on VW models don't have a transmission fluid dipstick for checking the transmission fluid level. To fill and check the level of the VW automatic transmission fluid you have to remove a plug on the side or bottom (location depends on model and if you have an automatic vs. manual transmission) of the transmission drain pan. The factory manual refers the expensive VAG 1924 special tool for pumping the VW automatic transmission fluid into the oil pan.

How much tranamission fluid does my 1997 sable hold

If you have your owners manual, there is a section containing the capacities for all fluids. You may also simply check your fluid level, with a running motor and warm transmission. If the stick indicates add, start with a 1/4 quart and work your way up. Unless there is a problem with the trans, there is no real reason to ever add fluid unless your are flushing the transmission.

How do you know when you need to change your transmission fluid in my 2002 ford explorer

This is in the owners manual pages 269 and 270. TRANSMISSION FLUID
Checking automatic transmission fluid (if equipped)
The automatic transmission does not have a transmission fluid dipstick.
Refer to your scheduled maintenance guide for scheduled intervals for fluid checks and changes. Your transmission does not consume fluid. However, the fluid level should be checked if the transmission is not working properly, i.e., if the transmission slips or shifts slowly or if you notice some sign of fluid leakage.
Transmission fluid should be checked and, if required, fluid
should be added by a qualified technician.
Do not use supplemental transmission fluid additives, treatments or cleaning agents. The use of these materials may affect transmission operation and result in damage to internal transmission components. Checking and adding manual transmission fluid (if equipped)
1. Make sure the vehicle is on a level surface or level hoist.
2. Clean the filler plug or dirt and debris.
3. Remove the filler plug and inspect the fluid level.
4. Fluid level should be at bottom of the opening.
5. Add enough fluid through the filler opening so that the fluid level is at the bottom of the opening.
6. Install and tighten the fill plug securely.
Use only fluid that meets Ford specifications. Refer to the Lubricant Specifications in this chapter.

Just looking to add more transmissioin fluid.. not sure where

Underhood Check-check for transmission fluid at the transmission case screwed in with a dipstick. Most GM vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions have such a dipstick.
  • Engine oil--Check the engine oil level.
  • Coolant--Check the radiator coolant level in the reservoir.
  • Battery-- Visually check battery cables and connections.
  • Automatic transmission--Check the fluid level.
  • Master cylinder--Check the fluid level.
  • Power Steering--Check the fluid level.
  • Windshield washer--Check the fluid level.
  • Belts & hoses--Visually check all belts and hoses for wear. NOTE: In addition to the items listed above there are cases with some manufacturer's where odd components such as manual transmission/transaxles and front differentials many be equipped with a dipstick found underhood for fluid level check. If you are unsure of a dipstick on your vehicle, check with the owners manual. 89531p07.jpg

    Where do I check the transmission fluid on a 1997 Hyundai excel

    Remove Transmission Fluid Level Check
    Locate and remove the transmission fluid level checker, in most cars and trucks this is where the fluid is checked and added.
    1687565.jpg
    Insert fluid funnel and add transmission fluid until the proper amount of fluid level is reached. Let engine warm and recheck fluid level, add fluid as needed. Do not over fill the transmission, it could foam the fluid and cause low fluid pressure causing premature transmission failure. recheck transmission for leaks and recheck fluid level in a couple of days.

    DIAGNOSIS AND TEST FLUID LEVEL AND CONDITION
    1. Park the vehicle on a level surface. 2. Before removing the dipstick, wipe all dirt from the area around the dipstick. 3. With the selector lever in "P" (Park) and the parking brake applied, start the engine. 4. The engine should be running at idle speed and the fluid should be at normal operating temperature [80-90°C (176-194°F)]. 5. Move the selector lever to every position to fill the torque converter and hydraulic circuit with fluid, then place the lever in the "N" (Neutral) position. This operation checks that fluid level check is accurate. 6. Check if the fluid level is in the "HOT" range shown on the dipstick. If the fluid is low, add automatic transaxle fluid until the level reaches the "HOT" range.
