Where is the transmission fluid filler tube on a 1996 Chrysler Concorde?

The transmission fluid filler tube on a 1996 Chrysler Concorde is on the top of the transmission itself. However, it's not a readily accessible tube like you might find on some vehicles. Instead, you'll usually find it is under a transmission dipstick.

To locate it:

1. Locate the transmission dipstick. This is usually near the back of the engine compartment, but not directly in the center. Consult your owner's manual for the exact location; the diagram will be invaluable here.

2. The dipstick itself is the filler tube. You check and add fluid through this tube. There is typically no separate filler tube.

Important Note: Many automatic transmissions in vehicles from this era (and slightly later) don't actually have a dipstick that's easily accessible for checking fluid level. There might be a small access port you can access to check the level with a special tool, but filling is usually done through the dipstick tube if present. It is crucial to consult your owner's manual as procedures may vary depending on the transmission type (e.g., 3-speed, 4-speed automatic). If you can't easily locate a dipstick or access port, it's best to have a qualified mechanic check and service your transmission. Improper fluid levels can seriously damage the transmission.
