GMC 1994 Yukon - Manual Transmission Fluid

How to Add Fluid
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what kind of transmission
fluid to
use. See “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.
If the fluid level is low, add only enough of the proper fluid to bring the
level
up to the COLD area for a cold check or the HOT area for a hot check.
It doesn’t take much fluid, generally less than a pint.
Don’t overfill. We
recommend
you use only fluid labeled DEXRON@-111 or DEXRON@-IIE,
because fluids with that label are made especially for your automatic
transmission. Damage caused by fluid other than DEXRON@-I11 or
DEXRON@-IIE is
not covered by your new vehicle warranty.
After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as described under “How to
Check.”
0 When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the dipstick back in all
the way; then flip the handle down
to lock the dipstick in place.
Manual Transmission Fluid
When to Check
A good time to have it checked is when the engine oil is changed. However.
the fluid in your manual transmission doesn’t require changing.
How to Check
Because this operation can be a little difficult, you may choose to have this
done at a
GM dealership Service Department.
If you do it yourself, be sure to follow all the instructions here, or
you could
get a false reading.
NOTICE:
Too much or too little fluid can damage your transmission. Too
much can mean that some of the fluid could come out and fall on
hot engine parts
or exhaust system, starting a fire. Be sure to get
an accurate reading
if you check your transmission fluid.
Check the fluid level only when your engine is off, the vehicle is parked on
a level place and the transmission
is cool enough for you to rest your fingers
on the transmission case.
