I have not done tranny work on this perticular car, BUT, The owners manual will have A picture of the tranny dipstick and location.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, It your car needs fluid, there is A problem, It should never be low.
If it's fully dry, it needs six quarts.
IT needs to be done at a dealer with a GDS machine.
Pop open the hood and look to the right of the cylinder manifold. There will be a red dipstick that says A/T level. Pull it out and compare much like you would with an oil dipstick, there should be hash marks, marking if it is full, or if it needs more added. Also check the COLOR of the fluid, it should be a pinkish clear color, if it it then its good fluid, if its dark red or brown then its bad, and needs to be changed as soon as possible,
The fluid level is checked by loosening an Allen head bolt in the transmission pan. If the fluid starts to leak out, it is full. If not, it needs transmission fluid.
to show (1) whether the transmission needs fluid and (2) to show whether the fluid needs changing. Brown to dark brown reveals burnt fluid and needs changing badly. If high milage it's a good idea to change the transmission filter and the fluid.
It means the fluid needs to be changed. The burnt smell means the transmission has overheated at least once. Change your fluid and filter and hope for the best. Transmission fluid needs to be changed every 50,000 miles.
You do not need to change the transmission fluid in the Saturn vue. It is a sealed system and only needs to be replaced when the trans needs rebuilding.
Whatever seal the fluid is coming out.
1. Hyundai Genuine ATF 2. Diamond ATF SP-III 3. SK ATF SP-III Any of above can be used. You will need 8.98 U.S. quarts (8.5 liters).
It is important to add transmission fluid to car when it needs the fluid. It is added into the red capped tube, that holds the transmission dipstick, through a thin funnel.
check transmission fluid level check condition of transmission fluid,if dark in color it is burnt and needs replacing. other than that your transmission is wearing out
