SOURCE: 2006 Saturn Vue Transmission Fluid Check

Here you go..

Be sure that transmission fluid temperature is at least 104° F (40° C). Models with 2.2L engine: To access check/fill plug: In the engine compartment, remove clamp from air hose behind cooling fan. Separate air tube from the hose and push the tube back towards the transaxle. Remove the clip holding the two power steering lines together. All Models: From underneath vehicle remove the transaxle check/fill plug with engine running. Fluid level should be even with hole. Add fluid as needed until fluid flows from hole. Replace check/fill plug and torque to 9 ft. lbs. (12 Nm).

SOURCE: i can't add transmission fluid to my 2004 saturn vue

I think your transmission is a 4T45E which does not have a typical dipstick. Check underneath the vehicle on the transmission case above the oil pan on the passenger side of the vehicle and you will see a pipe thread plug. The transmission must be at operating temperature on a level surface and the engine running, you then remove the plug and add new fluid in the fill hole until it runs out the removed plug. You will obviously need a catch basin and do not re-insert plug until fluid has stopped overflowing. Do not turn off the engine during the process.

You don't have to go to dealer. My local garage changed fluid and filter , added Lucas additive for half the cost of dealer. Change at 50,000 mi.

SOURCE: where do i put transmission fluid in my 2006 Saturn Vue?

If you have no leaks dont worry about it. Just get it serviced if its time. Alot of cars are this way now. You need to be under the car to drain and fill. My BMW is this way

Do the 2009 saturn vue carry transmission fluid dipstick if so where is it located in the engine

No dip stick , most all new vehicles don't have one now a day's . You have to jack up the vehicle an find the plug on the side of the trans . if fluid dips out ,it's full .
The oil level control plug (65) is located on the torque converter side of the transmission. Your best bet , take it jiffy lube or some other place like that .

Have a 2007 Saturn Vue 6 cyl. Not Hybrid and the manual shows a dipstick to check transmission fluid level back of the engine. Where is it, I can't see it. Thanks

I think the V6 Vue has the dipstick nearer the front of the engine bay. It is located near the battery, tucked down low between the transmission and the radiator.
Some car models do not always have a dipstick fitted as standard so there might only be a cap covering the dip hole.

I cant find the dip stick for my 2003 v6 saturn vue. Where is it?

this is a so called "sealed transmission" what does this mean?, there is no dip stick, the fluid level is checked by removing a plug on the tranmission case.

I have a saturn vue automatic 2004 AWD car and need to check the transmission fluid and cannot find the dip stick anywhere. Do you know where it is?

Unfortunately, There is no Dipstick for the Tranny. Most all of the Foriegn Imports are going with no Dipstick now so that you will have no choice but take it in for Service.
