It doesn't have a stick thing to check the oil like the motor oil and my engine is knocking but the temp. won't go up so it is not the motor hopefully...How Do I change my Transmission fluid on my 2000 pontiac grand am 2.2L twin cam?
to answer your question, start the engine, allow it to reach operating temperature, raise the vehicle, while the engine is still running remove the fluid checking plug. It's a small metal pipe plug. Fluid will run out if it's overfull. If it's low on fluid, add fluid to it until it runs out of the plug hole. To change the fluid and filter, you must remove the trans pan and allow all of the fluid to drain out. It should have a reusable pan gasket.
Now, if your engine is knocking, chances are you don't need to change the trans fluid. Save your time and money. Take it to a reputable repair shop to have them diagnose the noise.How Do I change my Transmission fluid on my 2000 pontiac grand am 2.2L twin cam?
automatic or manuel trans ? need more info
if your motor is knocking i would think its internal engine problems more than tranny problem
to find out which cylinder is knocking remove the spark plug wire while the car runs and see if the knocking goes awayHow Do I change my Transmission fluid on my 2000 pontiac grand am 2.2L twin cam?
Your low on engine oil if your car is knocking and nothing else. I had a 1999 Le Baron and it ticked %26quot;knocked%26quot; for a month befor i checked the oil and i was a quart low. Your tranny shouldnt knock if your low on oil. It will slip and go lose gears.How Do I change my Transmission fluid on my 2000 pontiac grand am 2.2L twin cam?
I doubt that the trans is causing the knocking,but if you want to check the fluid,there is a screw in plug in the front of the trans with an 11mm head.It's near the coolant lines.Unscrew it and see that the fluid is at that level,if not then pour some into the top of the trans by unscrewing the plastic cap.If you want to change the fluid,disconnect one of the coolant lines to the radiator and start the engine,it will pump itself dry.
