Hi there,

The transmission has it's own dip stick, it is located to the front of the transmission, it should be check hot and with the engine running, the level should not be over the HOT mark, if needed use Dextron 11 or 111 trans oil, cycle the transmission through the gears before re checking after adding any oil, if the old oil is dark and smells burnt, get the trans serviced.
