Checking Fluid Level: Sprint

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1986 Chevrolet Sprint and 1986 Chevrolet Spectrum. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Remove fluid level gauge from side case of transaxle. Insert fluid level gauge through opening until threaded part of gauge rests on top of side case.
  2. Remove gauge and check oil level. Fluid level should be between "FULL" and "LOW" lines. If fluid level is below "LOW" line, add fluid until it reaches "FULL" line.
NOTE: During fluid change on Sprint models, clean drain plug and apply sealant (GM 1052080) to thread portion of plug. After draining, install gasket and drain plug. If transaxle is cold, tighten drain plug to 18-22 ft. lbs. (24-30 N.m). If transaxle is warm, tighten drain plug to 15-18 ft. lbs. (20-24 N.m).
