Trans Fluid Dip Stick

tllgdlkng · June 30th, 2006, 10:13 PM

Hi There Everyone, Ok first off I'm a girl. I have a V6 2005 convertable. I was able to find all the fluids to check under the hood except the auto transmission fluid. Any idea where thier hiding the dip stick for checking the fluid level? Thanks So Much Guys!

the last automatic i drove was a 76 pontiac, but on that it came up on the passenger side near the rear of the engine. you might try asking in the v6 and 4cyl forum. hope this helps, good luck

On my 99 V6, it is passenger side coming out at the rear of the engine area and labeled MerconV.

The dipstick is a small plug in the bottom of the trans pan on this car. It doesn't have a conventional dipstick and tube. There's a special procedure required for ck'ing the fluid which requires a scan tool and a hoist. But the good news, it's a fill-for-life trans so service isn't needed until 100K miles

Also if your going to check it make sure the vehicle is running and is warmed up...
