the only thing I can find is a red plastic plug marked transmission in a awful spot.How do I check the fluid in this car.
 
You mean you want to check the tranny fluid right? Yes it is a sucky job on this car, there is a level plug under neath on the right side of the car, it is on the transmission case just near the drive axle and I believe you need a 7/16 inch wrench to get it out. Make sure the car is warmed up (take it for a little drive first and then with the car idling in park remove the plug and then pour ATF into the fill plug up top that you have already located till it starts to drip out of the level plug (might want a buddy to help you with this and have a drain pan under the level plug to catch the drips). Good luck!
