2001 olds alero question, please help!!

hey, i'm new here

ok....the other day i was getting an oil change and i had just realized that i never had checked my transmission fuel or even changed the oil.

i need help on finding the transmission stick?? anyone know where it would be?? i kept looking for a red stick but not found.

so, i read the owner's manual and it only talks about a transaxle, whatever that is?

the transaxle fluid cap is the only thing i found that remotely is like a transmission cap.

the problem is that there is no way for me to tell how much or little transaxle fluid there is.

so should i just for the hell of it add a little transaxle fluid?

thanks.
