QUESTION: Mr. Hagan Thank You for your help on my last question about my car. I need to know how to check the transmission fluid in on my 2000 pontiac grand am 4 cyl. I know where it's located and i took the cap off but now what do i do? I put a dip-stick in the hole and there wasn't any sighn of fluid?
Answerits actually rather difficult to check, you will need to lift the car off the ground, allow it to run at idle till it reaches operating temperature, then with it running, there is a 12mm screw on the right side of the trans above the pan, you need to remove it, if trans fluid comes out, its full, if not, you will need to add some to that hole where you removed the cap until it comes out then reinstall the 12mm screw
