How do you add transmission oil on a 2007 Pontiac solstice?

The 2007 Pontiac Solstice doesn't have a dipstick to check or add transmission fluid. It uses a sealed transmission system, meaning the transmission fluid is filled for the life of the transmission (or at least until a major service is required). You should not attempt to add transmission fluid yourself.

If you suspect a problem with your Solstice's transmission, such as:

* Slipping gears: The car doesn't shift smoothly or slips out of gear.

* Hard shifting: The car shifts gears roughly or with a noticeable jerk.

* Strange noises: Whining, grinding, or other unusual noises are coming from the transmission.

* Fluid leaks: You see transmission fluid leaking under the car.

Then you should take your car to a qualified mechanic or a Pontiac dealership. Improperly adding transmission fluid to a sealed system can cause significant damage. A mechanic can diagnose the problem and determine the appropriate course of action, which might include a fluid change (if the transmission is designed for it) or more extensive repairs. Attempting a DIY fix is strongly discouraged in this case.
