Transmission problem
1998 Chevy Cavalier 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I am replacing a damaged tranmission pan on a 1998 cavalier, 4cyl, 4 speed auto. There is no dipstick, the check hole is impossible to get to with the car level. How many quarts of fluid? Thanks

Thanks, It is a 1998 cavalier, 4 door base sedan, 2.2L, 4 speed auto. Manual says 4 quarts but I think that's for a 3 speed auto.
