Stupid ?, but...

Noticed my tranny fluid was running quite a bit low the other day when changing the oil. Where the heck do i add fluid at? Nothing in the manual!
Does it go in the little tube where you check the fluid levels at?

should be on the passenger side towards the firewall down towards the bottom of the engine. a red handled dipstick iirc.

Exactly.

Yes i checked it while it was running. Looked about a quart low.
Thanks, i just wanted to make sure. Looks like i need to go buy a small funnel. As usual thanks for the help!

Yes, narrow neck funnel added to where the dipstick goes. Add only 1/2 pint at a time and recheck. DO NOT OVERFILL...I've been told nasty issues if you overfill. On my 2002 tahoe, 1 qt low was basically below the min level (below the level of the crosshatches on my dipstick), barely seeing any on the bottom of the stick when checked hot, just for your reference.

I would check it when its hot I have gotten false readings when it is cold for some reason.
