Well...i'm back..here is the scoop..i looked under the car, and there is a drain plug, but i cant see any writing on it..the instruction book says i should use type G (FLM), which abe says is type F here..so am a little confused as to what to use..also..do i check the trans oil level while the car is running?? my problem is that the car wont even go into gear, which i think (hope) is because it is too low on oil..the oil also has a burnt odor to it..(my daughter drives this car, and she said that first it wouldn't go into reverse, and now it wont go anywhere..she also said that she smelled burning, which corresponds with the ATF..thanks for the help..David
