Question
Where do I find the transmission dipstick??
Floyd,
First of all, I'm a Parts Specialist, not a Tech. I will do the best I can to help you but...
Secondly, you don't tell me what type of Mazda you have.. Year, Make or Model..
Last... You don't tell me if your transmission is a stick or automatic. This makes a world of difference. IF it is a stick, there is probably a "fill port" on the side of the case to fill the transaxle. IF it is an automatic, there is probably a dip stick with a yellow or red handle. It should say "Trans" or something like that. IF it says "OIL", that is for the engine oil, NOT the transmission.
As stated, I'm a Parts Professional, NOT a Tech. I would suggest you look in your Owner's Manual to see where is is. IF you don't have one, you could go to the Public Library and see if they have a manual for your vehicle. If all of the above fail, I'd call Mazda and ask for the "Service Department" and ask them. Good luck,,

Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you. I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire. If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle. PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you.. Skip
