So is there a dipstick on the equinox to check tranny fluid or do you have to go buy something to check the fluid level?

There probably is not a dip stick, they have eliminated them and now is a plug. When having problems with the overdrive, it is something electrical, like a solenoid. Best to take it to a transmission shop for proper diagnosis.

There is a dip stick for the transmission. You have to lift your equinox and it's just right of the alternator under a motor mount. There are 3 bolt that hold the motor mount and one that goes through the motor mount. There also is a bolt that holds down the dip stick. You'll have to fill the transmission with a hose and a funnel. Only use Dex5 transmission fluid.. hope this helps
