add oil to max level just to be safe. let all oil settle down before checking level. did you diy was the car jacked up when you check the oil level some of the oil would go to the still empty oil filter after the initial engine run.
you have apparently drain the transmission fluid out of the trans pan. check your oil level to see if it is overfilled, this would be a good indication especially if you didn't have to refill the oil with at least 5 quarts.
If you find no dip stick you need to raise it off the ground preferably on a lift and check the side plug on the transaxle, open it locate the level should be slightly dripping out of the hole when opened, that is full.
If its a standard shift use 80 w gear oil, if its automatic use dextronll transmission fluid.
Have fun.
The oil dipstick is on the driver's side of the engine. Look a little low. There is no transmission dipstick. There is a plug on the transmission pan that has to be removed while the engine is running to check the fluid level. A special tool is needed to add fluid to the transmission.
it normally is under the hood on the driver side and you see one that says engine oil and you may have to look on the other side to find the one that says transmission
I don't know exactly. I've seen them accessible from right under the hood and I've seen them down just on top of the transmission (very short stick). The best thing for you to know exactly where they are and to fix anything else on your ride is to get a Haynes Repair Manual.

i have same problem. get ready to pay around 2400+. as a matter of fact mine is in the shop right now. you cannot check the fluid yourself. it's up under the bottom. no dip-stick. its a joke, i have a 99 rodeo. will drive it long enough to get my 2400 out of it and then its a gonner !!!! sounds like it is going to create alot of problems if i keep it.
