Level checking:
M/T: With car level, open the fill plug (higher, towards front of car) and stick your finger in there. fluid level should be level with bottom of fill hole.
A/T: Run car at idle, apply brake, shift through all levels from P to L and back. With engine warm, pull red dipstick and read it just like engine dipstick. fluid level should be between two higher notches.
Flushing:
A series of unusually frequent (eg. 300 miles) tranny fluid changes. Only really applies to A/T.
