Where would the transmission fluid be?

Question

Does anyone know where the transmission fluid would go in a 1993 GMC Serrea 1500 its a manual transmission and how i would go about checking the level of fluid. Ive been noticing that in 3rd 4th, and 5th gear when i apply the gas it wont accelerate as fast it normally should but the RPMs increase alot more

Answer 1

I concur with the slipping clutch.  You will probably soon notice it in 1st and 2nd.

Answer 2

Manual transmission should have a plug in the right side of the case. Remove it and the fluid level should be even with the bottom of the hole. But based on your description it sounds like a slipping clutch.

Answer 3

dude , the trany is not low on fluid if it's a manual trans and you think It's slipping. the check plug is in the side of the trans., The cultch is slipping ,, simple as that . have to pull the tranny to fix it  

Answer 4

You might have a slipping clutch judging by your description.  

Answer 5

you should be able to pop the hood and when you look under the hood you should see a dip stick  that says trans on it that is where you will fill up your transmission fluid and the level will show on the dip stick.

Answer 6

to the mechanic, notice she said 'its a manual"  therefor, no dipstick.  there is oil in the transfer case and transmission but that doesn't lead to poor acceleration.

how many miles?  sounds like slipping clutch to me.  

Answer 7

Look under the hood for a dip stick, you will see two of them, one for the oil, which means the other one has to be the transmission. In order for you to check the transmision  fluid level, the engine has to be running,

Also to add transmission fluid,  you will need a thin tipped funnel that goes into the dip stick housing and the fluid is poured in through there.

Opps, disregard all the above!

I just noticed, that you have a manuel transmission,  Sorry, I don't know how to check those.
