I own a 1987 Chevy Camaro V6. The car has an automatic transmission and i checked the transmission fluid after it has been driven, in park while idling and it said it said "Add one pint". my question is where do i add more transmission fluid? Thanks a lot.

MrDude_1

you pour it right down the dipstick tube.

ririe

past the chekered part of the dipstick is considered full right?

MrDude_1

DONT overfill it. it will cause more damage then good..... and its hard to take fluid out without just draining the whole thing....


i donno what the stick looks like off the top of my head....

I believe the dipstick works the same way as the oil it should be fairly self explanitory, I think you want to check it when the tranny is warm, and my mechanic told me to shift through P N O/D D 2 1 a few times before checking it. I wouldn't add a whole quart unless it was fairly low, its alot easier to add more than it is to take it out.

MrDude_1

some have the "low add me" range in crosshatch

others have the entire range in crosshatch...


i donno what yours is. *shrug* anyone?

Isn't the car suppose to be idling too while you check it?

yeah that is the jist of it chris. the two manuals i have used in the past haynes and chiltons say that the tranny/engine should be warm opperating temp and idling while checking fluid level.

Ive always woundered... What happens when you over fill it I always kinda run my tranny "lean(never toped off)" if you will
