This is what I do. I have a 1998 Malibu that has a red Transmission Fluid cap that is visible (kneeling down)to the left of the inside of the battery straight to the back. If you have small arms you can reach and unscrew the cap, but it has to be cold. I then use a funnel that is about 18 inches long and insert it from the top while guiding the bottom of the funnel with my other hand. My funnel does not go directly in, but I anchor it where the fluid still flows in. I have put up to 3 gallons in and have had no problems. I usually add fluid when the car starts to kick, like jump starting.Hope it helps!

AnswerThe 2000 and several other years of this vehicle have no transmission dipstick because they use a sealed transmission. The actual process for checking the trans fluid is elusive as I have been searching for days. The popular answer is that you need the vehicle engine and transmission at operating temperature, on a level surface, and then you pull a small plug (location in dispute) near the right axel shaft and watch for a small amount of fluid to run out. If none does, then it is low. Best I can come up with so far.

Where is transmission fluid dipstick to add transmission fluid to 2005 Chevy Malibu?

There should be two dipsticks under the hood on a Malibu. One will be plainly marked "OIL" or "ENGINE OIL." The other one is your transmission fluid. This is assuming your Malibu has automatic transmission. If your Malibu has a manual transmission (stick shift), then there is no dipstick for transmission fluid -- manual trannies get lubrication from the engine oil.

There is no transmission dip stick. On the drivers side under the thermostat housing you have a red cap, that is your fill tube for the transmission. TJMAN DALLAS GA I'm not sure where it is located, but i know on alot of newer Chevy cars that there may not be one, because the transmission system is sealed.
