Checking Fluid Level: Transmission/Transaxle
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 63 other vehicles, including the 1994 Pontiac Trans Sport, 1994 Oldsmobile Silhouette, 1994 GMC Yukon, 1994 GMC Vandura Special, and 1994 GMC Vandura. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
With vehicle parked on a level surface and engine at idle, move selector lever through all positions, ending in Park. Remove dipstick, wipe clean and check fluid level. Fluid level should be between ADD 1 PT. and FULL marks on dipstick. If vehicle has been driven for extended period of time at high speed, in city traffic or pulling a trailer, an accurate fluid level cannot be immediately determined. Allow transmission/transaxle to cool for about 30 minutes after vehicle is parked, then check fluid level.
