DO I POUR TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE DIPSTICK OPENING? DIPSTICK IS EMPTY. CHECKED IT IN NUETRAL AND PARK WHILE IDLED. WHAT TYPE/BRAND DO I BUY? I BOUGHT THE CAR WITHOUT A MANUEL.

Ok thank you, I put 3.5qts in it and now its moving but with labored acceleration. You think its safe to drive to the man whos gonna look at it or should I call AAA TO TOW? IT'S about 15 mins away. I dont want to do any further damage. Im a lady who obviously knows nothing about cars! Whats some thing I could do next? No noticable leaks of any trans fluid now or prior to this. Thank again!

You can drive it on a 15 minute drive, just keep speeds low (45mph or lower).
