Trans Filler & Odd Vibration.

Hey guys, I can't find the trans dipstick on the wife's 05' cobalt ls, is this a sealed trans? The gear engagements seem louder than usual and i thought it might be low on trans fluid.

Also, When sitting at a light and in gear there is a vibration sound coming from the drivers side. The vibration goes away when the trans is placed in park of neutral. It's also intermittent. Since it has to be in gear it's hard to pull over and find it since I drive more than she does.

Thanks for the help.

to check fluid level you need to start car and remove the fluid check plug on the passenger side, then fill it through the fluid cap on the top of the trans. search around, the procedure is definitely here

I'm actually going to do mine soon. I read from multiple places with a pan drop and filter change, it takes 6.9 quarts. Can anyone confirm this?
