Re: Cannot find trans. dipstick on 1998 toyota carolla...
MOST MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS USE A HEAVIER OIL, AND DON'T HAVE A DIPSTICK! THEY USUALLY HAVE A CHECK PLUG ON THE SIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION! BEST TO PUT IT ON A LIFT TO CHECK!

it could be any number of things, 3rd gear may be out in the trans, it could be the computer telling it not to shift, it could be your cable is out of adjustment. Your best bet is to go to a qualified shop or the dealer and have it looked at before the trans is burned up causing a couple of thousand $$$ is repairs.
Make sure that your vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is cool before you check fluid levels. Power steering fluid and other fluids read at different levels when warm instead of cool. Locate the power steering fluid reservoir. It is located under the hood of your Toyota Corolla on the passenger side next to the engine. The reservoir is connected to the power steering pump. Remove the cap and use the dipstick to check the fluid level. For the most accurate reading, clean off the dipstick with a rag first, then re-insert and remove for the fresh reading. Add automatic transmission fluid or power steering fluid approved for use in Toyota vehicles if the fluid is below the low level mark. Add fluid gradually to keep for over filling the reservoir. this will help.thanks.
the thermostat is located behind the return hose from the radiator, the one thats easiest to get to, there will be 3 10mm bolts holding the thermostat cover on, take it off, pop it out, and replace it, easy as pie, good luck and hope this helps
disconnect the battery then there are 2 14mm bolts on trans side then go under car and there is a 14mm nut then the wires need removed i think one is clipped in and the other may be 13mm
try autozone.com to see if they have your car listed for diagrams pictures and step by step instructions if your car is not listed then try your local library they have all the car manuals and even copy them for you
I don't know how many models this affects, but I had heard that some manufacturers are no longer putting in a dipstick to check automatic transmission fluid. For example, check the "Tips and Warnings" box (lower center of page) at this web site. Your car may be one of those affected. You can check with a Toyota dealer to be sure.
