Automatic Transaxle Fluid (2.3L Code D Engine Only) If you have the optional 2.3L Code D engine (see "Engine Identification" in the Index) and an automatic transaxle, it isnot necessary to check the transaxle fluid level. A transaxle fluid leak is the only reason for fluid loss. If a leak occurs, take the vehicle to your Chevrolet dealer Service Departmentand have it repaired as soon as possible. You may also have your fluid level checked by your dealer or service center when you have your oil changed. How to Check Because this operation can be a little difficult, you may choose to have this done at your Chevrolet dealer Service Department. If you do it yourself, be sure to followall the instructions here,or you could get a false reading on the dipstick. NOTICE: Too much ortoo little fluid can damage your transaxle. Too much canmean that some of the fluid could come and fall on hot engine parts out or exhaust system parts, starting fire. Be sure to a get an accurate readingif you check your transaxle fluid. Check the fluid level only when your engine is off, the vehicle is parked on a level place and the transaxle is cool enough for you to rest your fingerson the transaxle case. Manual Transaxle Fluid When to Check A good time to have it checked is when the engine oil is changed. However, the fluid in your manual transaxle doesn't require changing. 6-19
