To check the transmission fluid level on the 2011 Chevy Malibu, watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ualklGHjBYM The transmission is one of the most crucial parts of the vehicle. You will come into issues at some point. The gears may become stuck. There could be jerking. Hard shifts could arise and that is not good. You may experience shudders. The transmission may slip. Delayed shifts will cause acceleration issues. If the transmission fluid leaks, that needs to be solved quickly. The transmission fluid needs to be replaced every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. Along with fluid changes, terrible sounds will come from the transmission. Old transmission fluid will be awful to the ear. A worn out torque converter will cause a headache.

To check the transmission level in your 2011 chevy malibu there is a check level bolt on the side of the tranny case to check the level. The car has to be level, running, and warm. A bit of a pain in the rear to do in the driveway. Don't open it when the car isn't running, or you will lose a good bit of fluid.
