The ONLY transmission that will work in that year is the 4L60E. Due to the computor system and transmission wiring harness. All the 1/2 ton trucks used the 4L60E transmission and the 3/4 tons used the 4L80E transmissions in them.
Assuming this is an automatic transmission, pull the dipstick out and read it, it will tell you the proper ATF to use.

Have a fuel pressure test run.
K indicates 4WD, C indicates 2WD.

You can tell if the transmission, in your 1998 Chevy Malibu, is going bad. If there is a whining or clunking noise. The transmission might cause your engine to install when you are stopped with your foot on the brake.
