Automotive → Re: Why No More Transmission Dipstick?

Some of the Daewoo's did not have a tranny dipstick. You had to check them similar to how you do a manual trans, thru a removeable plug..

The Suzuki Forenza's and Suzuki Verona are that way. Takes a special tool to remove both the drain plugs and the plugs to check the levels..

I also know that some of the small/midsize GM's (cavalier,GrandAm's etc.) also don't have tranny dipsticks but I'm not familiar with any checking procedure with them..

I have a 2004 Grand AM with a 3400 V6 and it has a tranny dip stick.
