Manual Transmission Fluid
When
to
Check
A
good time to
have
it checked is when the engine oil is changed. However,
the fluid in your manual transmission doesn't require changing.
How
to
Check
Because this operation can be a little difficult, you may choose to have this
done at your
GM
dealership Service Department.
If
you
do
it yourself, be sure to follow all the instructions here, or you could
get a false reading.
NOTICE:
Too
much or too little fluid can damage your transmission.
Too
much can mean that some
of
the fluid could come
out
and fall
on
hot engine parts
or
exhaust system parts, starting a fire. Be sure
to get an accurate reading if
you
check your transmission fluid.
Check the fluid level only when your engine is off, the vehicle is parked on
a level place and the transmission is cool enough for
you
to rest your fingers
on
the transmission case.
Then, follow these steps:
h
1.
Remove the filler
Plug-
2.
Check that the
lubricant level is
up to the bottom
of
the filler plug
hole.
3.
If
the fluid level is
good,
install the plug and be sure
it
is fully seated.
If
the fluid level
is
low, add more fluid as described in the next steps.
