Where is the dipstick for the transmition fluid located on a 1997 chevy malibu?

Question

We cannot find one but there has to be right????Please help!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

  It may not have one. I know the 1998 chevy malibu 6 cyl does not have one. The only way to check it is to put the car on a lift and open a plug on the side of the transmission and stick your finger in. This is for the automatic transmission. Crazy hugh?? Its in the Haynes repair manual.

Answer 2

There isn't one most likely. GM has gone to what they call a sealed transmission since around '95. This means that the only way to check the fluid is by a plug on the side of the transmission. Look it up in the manual for the specific location.

Answer 3

It don't have one!! that was one of GM's better ideas... read owners manual or call dealer for details on fluid level.

Answer 4

Most transmission sticks should have a yellow handle on it to grap. Should be back torwards the firewall near the center, down low, you may have to look hard for it.
