Timing belt or chain?
i just bought a 97 malibu 3.1 liter. Does this motor have a belt or a chain? Also how do you check the trans fluid? There is a fill cap, but no dipstick!

Re: Timing belt or chain?
I had my transmission rebuilt on my '97 Malibu. You are right there is no dipstick. The layman customer cannot check on the ground. You have to get the car up in the air and open the drain on the side of the transmission, pour some transmission fluid in from the top and let it drain out until it stop and then close the side drain. (This is a transmission specialist/mechanic told me.) Who was GM engineer that came up with this stupid idea?
