How To Add Fluid:
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to
determine what kind of transaxle fluid to
use. See the Znda under Fluids &
Lubricants. If the fluid level is low, add
only enough of the proper fluid to bring
the level into the cross-hatched area on
the dipstick.
It doesn't take much fluid, generally less
than a pint. Don't overfiil. We
recommend you use only fluid labeled
DEXRON@-IIE, because fluids with that
label are made especially for your
automatic transaxle. Dama e caused by
fluid other than DEXRON
B
-IIE is not
covered by your new vehicle warranty.
After adding fluid, recheck the fluid
level as described under How tu Check.
When the correct fluid level is obtained,
push the dipstick back in all the way.

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 a Pontiac dealership 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.
