Re: 92 Cutlass Supreme: How to read transmission fluid...
A 92 should have a normal dipstick for the ATF, near the firewall, if it is an automatic.
If it is a stick, then you need to pull the plug on the side of the tranny, underneath.

The neutral switch is not the issue. It wont even start if it was the switch, Check the fluid with the car on a level surface, It is is ok, check the link to the transmission from the shifter to see if it came off. If none of those work, it is time for a new transmission.
CHECK FOR LOW TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL.IF FLUID LEVEL OKAY, BUT TRANSMISSION FLUID LOOK DARK SMELL BURNED, CHANGE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTER.HAVE GARAGE OR DEALERSHIP CHECK ABS BRAKE SYSTEM. YOU COULD HAVE FAULTY WHEEL SPEED SENSOR OR ABS BRAKE MODULATOR SOLENOID PROBLEMS.
Most of the time when it starts for 1-5 seconds then dies, its a failing of the antitheft system. Read about it thru this link. Some possible solutions too. http://vatspasslockpasskeysecurityhelp.yolasite.com/
you might check the transmission fluid, under the hood on the left side i think... shift from park to reverse a few times, put the transmission in neutral and leave the engine running, check transmission fluid level, if the fluid is good then transmission may be out
With a transmission there is not a lot you can do at home.Most problems are the fluid level.Start the car and fully warm it up.Move the gear selector through all the gears a few times and end in neutral.H/brake on.Now, with engine still running and in neutral,check the fluid level by removing the transmission dipstick.Clean it and reinsert it and recheck.If it is low,add some fluid through the dipstick tube.Slowly or it will run back out.I hope this helps you and this is about all you can check at home.
Bad News! I just checked the Maintenance Logs and it seems that you CANNOT add Tranny fluid on this Cutlass. It has to go in for Service. I know that is Stupid, I TOTALLY Agree!
there is no dipstick ...they are sealed units. there is a way to add fluid but its not easy.... you have to remove exhaust crossover pipe ...then you will see a small brass plug on top of trans..... hope this helps
