Checking 3.5 tranny fluid? Help please?

[Surt]

My 3.5 had been shifting weird lately, its an automatic, and the G6 is my first car without a dipstick for the transmission. I've searched the forums and really haven't found a thread to answer my question.

So most of the threads I found say there's a bolt on the underside of the transmission but there's what looks like a filler cap on the top side of the tranny easily accessible with the hood open. Kind of confused here....I just want to check my fluid...

Other's have had a transmission slipping at or around 4000-5000 rpm from 1st to 2nd, is that your problem, oo.

Yeah, more or less seems like its slamming into 2nd. Doesn't do it every time but still enough to worry me. I'll probably just call the dealership, explain the problem, and have them flush and refill.

That didn't work for my 2006 G6, with over 100,000 miles. I did the flush and filter replacement and it still did it, you may have more problems


More info on your car would help, too. milage, too.

I don't care what any service advisor suggests, if your transmission is having slipping/slamming issues a flush will not fix it. There is a mechanical or electrical reason your transmisison is not operating properly. It sucks but you will most likely have to take it in to have it looked at.
