Tranny wont go in gear

[dsm4lif3]

Hey i just had a quick question regarding the bolt for the transmission fluid. It should be a big bolt right in the front from underneath.. Because i no i have been leaking alot of fluid and car been grinding alot of gears but now in morning when just sitting in drive way it hardly goes in any gear. My guess is because its empty and its cold which is just making problem worse?

So my question is the bolt right in front like pretty much by itself sticking out? and how much tranny fluid should i buy how many quarts or what ever they go by im just going to throw some in there hoping to get some more life out of the thing dont have money to replace tranny right now.

The bolt should be in front and it should be a 17mm.

Check your slave cylinder while your down there.
I had a leaky slave after fixing that, problem went away.

Ok thanks yea thats the bolt i was taking a look at im probly going to have to use breakerbar if i remember it was pretty snugg on there. And yea ill check that slave out to if its grinding now you think filling the tranny up again, it wont grind near to as much as it does now? Lol i dont know if that makes sense but you think to much damage is done?

chances the damage is done if it's real low on fluid . but that isn't always the case . so put some gear lube in it if it's low and give it a try.
