Do NOT drive it. My understanding, Im not sure what yours is...but on automatic trannys, there are dipsticks for adding the fluid...but on manuals, you should have a mechanic do it. The bad thing on a manual is there really is no way to check your fluid level.....my Grand Am I had once had its tranny go out because there was no fluid left, and there was no way to tell this. Get it towed somewhere ASAP.


Got to get it about 8 miles, car seems to drive fine ....just some fluid and noise coming out of the tranny.
Also , I couldnt find a place to refill my 89-535ia with new fluid ...Is it hidden???
