This seems really dumb to me, but I can't find the transmission dipstick on my chevy cavalier. It is a 2001 model. I have found where to add fluid right on top of the transmission, but I do not see a dipstick to check the level. Any help is greatly appreciated.

There just isn't one. I suppose Chevy decided car owners could just psychic the level of fluid in their transmission at any given time. I'm having trouble with my transmission right now - a busted mount at 38k miles.

Actually, there is no transmission fluid dipstick for the 2001 Chevy Cavalier; but only for the automatic transmission. The manual has a dipstick just like the rest of the world. The automatic has no dipstick because you are not supposed to need to add transmission fluid, if you DO have to add transmission fluid, there is something wrong. From what I understand, you may need to have the transmission fluid changed at some point though. Good Luck!

actually the dipstick is located under the car, near the front left drivers door. thee is a red plug , open it and if fluid drips out, your ok, if nothing comes out you need fluid..
