Where can I find the dipstick for the transmission fluid for a 1999 Saturn SL1?

What does the manual say? Dexron III at walmart.

DO A TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTER CHANGE.MORE LIKELY TRANSMISSION FILTER STOPPED UP.TRANSMISSION NEED MORE FLUID PRESSURE WHEN GOING IN REVERSE.STOPPED UP FILTER WILL RESTRICT FLUID PRESSURE.TRANSMISSION NEED GOOD FLUID PRESSURE TO OPERATE CORRECTLY.

Assuming your vehicle is equipped with an Automatic Transmission, it will have a model MP6 or MP7 Transmission both of which have dipstick tubes. Fluid is checked when the following conditions have been met:
1. Engine is warmed up after having been run 15 minutes.
2. While engine is running, Fear Selector has been moved through all ranges and lastly into park.
3. KOER, remove trans dipstick, wipe clean and fully reinsert.
4. Remove dipstick again, and inspect fluid level on stick. It should be between the FULL HOT Mark and the ADD 1 PT or .5L Marks.
5. If needed, use only Dextron-III Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)

My saturn is leakin tranmsion fluid pretty bad and makin a funny noise when I give it gas

That I'm not sure about yet. Do me a favor and pull the trany dipstick and put your nose really close to the fluid on the stick and see if it smells burnt.and is the fluid red or brown.

The Saturn L series automatic transmissions do not have a dipstick. They are the "new breed" of transmissions that are SUPPOSED to be trouble free. There is a plug on the passenger side of the transmission by the drive axle It is 11mm bolt. start the vehicle in park on a level surface or hoist...at operating temp pull out the plug Fluid should just trickle out of the plug hole If no fluid comes out add fluid to trans until it does...Where do you add??? Red plug on top/center of trans. Plastic plugthat threads in Add fluid there....Good luck

it goes in where the dipstick is removed with a funnel

If it doesn't have a dipstick for trans it must be an L-Series.They have a plug you remove from the bottom end of tunnel on the trans.If fluid come out with it running,supposedly it's full but it's a bad design.best way is to remove trans pan,drain fliud(replace filter if needed)Re-attach pan & gasket.Re-fill with 7qts Mercon 3 fluid.Hope this helps

The dipstick is behind the battery, below the master brake cylinder and is not the clutch reservoir. It has a red flip top handle instead of a ring like most dipsticks. It was hard for me to find due to engine grease. I had the same problem and was able to see that I was low on fluid (only a little) and adding fluid helped the problem.
