If you have a standard transmission and not an automatic, it does not use regular transmission fluid. It uses a heavy duty oil (85w-90w) and is serviced thru a plug in the side of the transmission housing. If it is low you probably have a seal leaking. If it is a front seal, it can get into your clutch area and cause you some major grief. If the leak is in the rear it can be normally replaced without pulling the transmission.
Engine stall or RPM fluctuates
at idle.
This problem is commonly caused by a dirty automatic idle speed control valve and throttle valve. Buy a can of throttle valve cleaner (do not use carburetor spray cleaner!) from NAPA or Carquest (made by CRC chemicals) and spray it into the air intake while the engine is running, use up about 1/2 the can, engine will try to stall hold the speed up, shut it down and let it soak for 30 minutes, restart and blow out the remaining fluid, shut it down and disconnect the negative battery cable for 5 Min's to reset the base idle control
