good day, I just wanted to know how to check the transmission fluid level for the car. The manual only says/shows a dipstick for the engine oil. I'm worried I might be running on low trans fluid. HELP

no dip stick for the trans. you have to get under it and check it by removing the fill plug.

that was a pretty decent article. but could have been said in fewer words for topping up the fluid. basicly make sure the trans is warmed up-not blazing hot just nice and warm. top the fluid up till it runs out of the hole (the upper fill plug hole). and-MAKE SURE YOU USE THE RIGHT FLUID!
not too complicated.
