How do you check transmission fluid 2005 Chevrolet Malibu 2.2?

The 2005 Chevrolet Malibu 2.2L doesn't have a dipstick to check the transmission fluid level. These vehicles use a sealed transmission system. Therefore, you cannot check the transmission fluid level yourself in the traditional way.

If you suspect a problem with your transmission fluid (like slipping, rough shifting, strange noises, etc.), you must take your Malibu to a qualified mechanic or transmission specialist. They have the proper equipment and procedures to assess the transmission fluid condition and level indirectly (often involving a pressure test or other diagnostic methods). Trying to access the fluid yourself could damage the transmission.
