Where to add trans fluid on 06 silverado - 2006 Chevrolet Silverado

That's high, but not terribly so. Transmissions typically run about 180, but on my Silverado the trans temp gauge doesn't show red until 250. Smell the trans fluid, if it doesn't smell burned, it should be ok. If unsure, change the fluid. I don't recommend a power flush, just drain the pan, change filter, measure what was in the pan, add that amount of new fluid and of course, correct why it got that hot in the first place.

Disconnect battery > remove driveline> catch fluid with container
that may come out rear shaft or use a shaft fluid cap > remove torque converter bolts> remove housing bolts that connect trans to
engine >remove cross member use floor jack or similar to lower trans don't forget to remove dipstick assembly. Some trans have
a drain plug if so drain fluid prior to removal.install is reverse fill with factory GM trans fluid not aftermarket.after filling shift into all
gears twice check fluid in park or neutral if okay then check for leaks if no leaks lower truck and test drive check fluid once more
on level ground.
Good luck on your journey.

If it is under warranty, THEY NEED TO FIX IT! Never trust lazy salesman or dealer personal. Any how, it sounds like your clutch or trans is slipping and might have "grinder teeth" in trans... Last suggestion,flush trans fluid and add Lucas additive to oil

let it warm up and check the transmission fluid. add as needed. check fuse for trans,.. add some stop slip to fluid and that should get u to shop

have you checked the trans fluid level? if level is good. check shift fuse in fuse panel. if fuse good, the trans screen may need replacement. the fluid could be bad and needs drained and replaced. if none of those you need a transmission repair.

Transmissions these days need very little maintenance, our fluids are advanced formulas that hold up for an average of 100,000 miles, most vehicle manufactures recommend no maintenance for automatic transaxles these days.As for a transmission flush I don't recommend this because it's an expense that is not needed and possibly could loosen some contaminants setting them loose to possibly clog some of the very small passages in the transaxle requiring full transaxle service,which could include removal,dissassembly,etc of your trans.Now draining and replacing fluid is OK if that makes you feel a peace of mind but normally not needed,if you decide to do that,as far as quantity just note approx. how much fluid is drained and purchase similar amount in quarts and then refill (DO NOT OVERFILL)
start engine, let it warm up to operating temp,then check the transmission dipstick for the correct level,remember the vehicle needs to be on a level surface,hot idiling in park when you check the fluid level. Good luck !

may i ask why you need to already change the fluid, unless you have burned fluid normally its good for 90,000 mi,otherwise if so, the drain plug is directly behind the bell housing of the engine/tranny and the filter is right there too under the access panel the drain plug is on

if automatic add after you pull the dip stick, if manual trans, top where the shifter is ,a plug to add fluid, all i no that you since you didnt put automatic or manual trans, thanks hope this helps you, robert b.

No there is not a drain for the transmission. You will have to pull the trans pan to change the fluid. Good Luck.

Sounds like it's starving for fluid. The noise you hear is probably a clogged filter. It it's been going on for a long period of time, you may have trans damage. I would recommend changing the fluid and filter and add some Lucas trans additive. I'm not much on additives but this stuff works. Hope this helps. Phil
