Re: 2000 catera transmission issue 80k miles

The drain bolt is on the side if you unscrew it fluid should come out if not you are low and need at add fluid use a synthetic trans fluid like valvoline max life or something i added a bottle of lucas transmission fix which renews existing fluid and lubricates the bands and loosens sticky valves. My advice for you is to jack the car up level both back and front after the tranny is slightly warm and then un screw bolt on side i would add as much lucas or fluid as you can before it fills and starts comming out of the hole. when that happens replace screw immediately. This is a simple way with out taking the tranny oil pan apart and stuff. My guess is your car is just a bit low on fluid.
