I have a 2004 Suzuki Forenza I need to know where to find the plug to check the transmission fluid and the special tool needed for the plug, and if there is a filter to change.

There is no dipstick to check the transmission fluid level on that vehicle. It has a drain plug at the bottom and a fill plug above it. The transmission fill plug is located on the backside of the transmission down by the driver side constant velocity shaft You must remove the fill plug with a special tool and fill it through that hole until it starts to slowly drip out. This will require you to put the vehicle on jack stands or a lift to perform this maintenance.Best to use a turkey baster to fill up.Get them at the dollar store.

There is no dipstick to check the automatic transmission fluid in the 2004 Suzuki Forenza. It is checked like a manual transmission. You will have to remove the fill plug underneath the car and then add some new transmission fluid until it drizzels out of the hole.

There is no way to check the transmission fluid or any way to fill it. It is an enclosed transmission and can only be check and/or fill by a mechanic with specialized tool. I was wandering the same thing a while back and called the local Suzuki dealer, along with my personal mechanic and they both said this very exact thing. Unfortunately, if it is low, you won't know until it's a problem.

you wil need a special tool (dw260-070) to remove and install the level plug that is under the transmission/transaxle assembly. take the plug out and try to refill until it overflows a bit showing it's full and re-install the plug with the special tool.
the fluid used is Esso LT71141 or you can use ATF H50235.
enjoy!

You can't!! You have to take it to the dealer. It has a special you need to unlock the transmission chamber.

There is no dipstick for the forenza auto tranny. It is checked like a manual tranny. You have toremove the fill plug and add some untill it drizzels out. Also it uses a special fluid that you can only get at the dealer...... And it also uses a special tool to do it with .

Suzuki uses expensive silica based fluid meant for import cars. At the dealer they charge 18.00 a quart. If you mix the wrong fluid in it, you'll ruin your tranny.

Good luck

Welcome to the new era in automatic transmissions - sealed systems with "lifetime" transmission fluid. This is progress???

What makes you believe it needs fluid?

There are ways to drain and add fluid on most of these "sealed" transmissions; however, it involves drain and fill plugs underneath the car. This is not a procedure for do-it-yourselfers.

Big Problem you may not be aware that Suzuki uses special trans fluid, needs to be silica based for import cars. The Transmission is sealed and requires no maintenance for 100,000 miles, and has a 7 year 100k warranty. If you add the wrong fluid, it will mix with and foul up the good fluid causing sticky, sluggish response from the transmission. This would void the warranty, How did you even loose fluid?

there is no dip stic on the forenza no need to go to the dealer and pay for it simply jack the entire car off the ground enough to get yourself under it make sure u support it with appropriate stands. you can check the fluid by removing the plug from the side of the trans u will need a special tool for this u can get from an auto parts store after removing the plug check to make sure the fluid is right to the brim of the plug hole then turn the car on and shift through the gears R,D,1,2,4 and then back again hold in each gear for about 5 sec then turn the car off crawl back under and check again . if low add a little at a time until its filled u can get a small hand pump with a tube on it from auto store u put this in a quart of trans fluid makes the job alot easier . as for the other problem it is you Trans range sensor $65 dollars from the dealer or $45 from OEMsuzukiparts.com not very hard to change Hope this helps
