How does one replace trans. fluid in '05 Towncar with no dip stick.
Can this be done at home.

Take this info with a grain of salt, I'm just a diy'er. Anyhow, my daughter has a cavalier with the auto. No dipstick either. The owners manual said to take it to the dealer to have fluid added. I thought BS, if they can add it, so can I. Got online on a cavy, forum and found out it was checked and added like on a manual tranny. Not saying that is your case, but could be. Hopefully someone with bore knowledgr will chime in soon. Let us know what you find out.

you cannot really check it yourself, unless you have the right connector for the fluid drain and can get the car over-head. It uses a fill/overflow tube - you fill it until it starts coming out the overflow....
