another question i have, is can i fill the tranny fluid from the dipstick port over the motor.
of do i have to jack the car up and put fluid in the tranny directly.
I checked the lvl just now, and it's quite low. scarey low. so yeah. i'm gonna go buy a few quarts of trans fluid (and dot brake fluid =))
I'll check this thread when i get back.

since you're trans is fairly new you could get away with a flush, but they're usually trouble - just drop the pan and do a filter change. Running it low on fluid will hurt it much more than not changing the fluid, so fill it ASAP! And yes, you can fill it through the dipstick tube. Over filling it is bad too, so be careful. Good Luck.
