Hi, how do I top up transmission fluid on my chevy optra 2006? There is no dip stick.
Manual or automatic?

You have to put the car up on jack stands or a lift and remove the fill plug to check and, if needed, add fluid. The car needs to be level while doing this and be sure to use the appropriate fluid or oil whether it is an automatic or manual transmission.
I should have added that with automatic transmissions the fluid level should be checked at the temperature called for by the manufacturer as well as with the engine either running or turned off as specified. Modern transmissions can be pretty finicky so you want to get it right.
