Re: transmission fluid

Confusing.... your signature says you have a 4L60E, but your post indicates you have a 6-speed ? ? ?

Re: transmission fluid

Does the car have a clutch? Do you have to shift the gears manually by pushing in the clutch pedal while moving the gearshift lever?

Re: transmission fluid

Interesting thing is both the 4L60E 4-speed automatic, and the T56 6-speed manual use Dexron-III. Automatic has a dipstick, manual does not.

Re: transmission fluid

You take out the fill plug on the driver side of the trans, and stick your finger in, making sure the fluid is level with the bottom of the hole.

On your 94, it will say "Dexron-II".... but that was superseded by Dexron-III. The trans in the photo is from a 97.
