Automatic Transaxle Fluid
(2.3L Code D Engine Only)
If you have the optional 2.3L Code D engine (see
"Engine Identification" in the Index) and an automatic
transaxle, it is not necessary to check the transaxle fluid
level. A transaxle fluid leak is the only reason for fluid
loss. If
a
leak occurs, take the vehicle
to
your Chevrolet
dealer Service Department and have it repaired as soon
as possible. You may also have your fluid level checked
by your dealer or service center when you have your oil
changed.
Manual Transaxle Fluid
When to Check
A good time to have
it checked is when the engine oil is
changed. However, the fluid in your manual transaxle
doesn't require changing.
How to Check
Because this operation can be
a
little difficult, you may
choose to have this done
at
your Chevrolet dealer
Service Department.
If you
do
it
yourself,
be sure to follow all the
instructions here, or you could get
a
false reading on the
dipstick.
NOTICE:
Too much or too little fluid can damage your
transaxle. 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
transaxle fluid.
Check the fluid level only when your engine is off, the
vehicle is parked on a level place and the transaxle is
cool enough for you to rest your fingers on the transaxle
case.
