Yes you can check the trans fluid. It should be done with the engine hot, running and in park. Add through the trans dipstick tube if you need more. Also, I recommend having the computer scanned for codes to determine if there is a code that could be from the transmission.

Let me know what you find and if you have other quesitons.
