How do I know if my car needs a transmission fluid change?

I have a 95 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS and there is no stick that you can pull out to see if the transmission oil is dirty, how do I find out if my car needs a transmission fluid change?How do I know if my car needs a transmission fluid change?
Hello, is this an automatic? If so there should be some sort of stick to tell if fluid is low it may be out of sight and you can not see it check the owners manual for location the tip will be colored with a yellow or red color. Also, it is recommended that the fluid be changed every 60,000 miles or 5 years. Keeping the maintenance up on your vehicle will keep it running longer. Good Luck.How do I know if my car needs a transmission fluid change?
If it is an automatic trans it should be changed every 10,000 miles. if it is a manual trans it should be changed every 50,000 to 100,000 miles.How do I know if my car needs a transmission fluid change?
Unless you have a full service history of the car, it is a good idea to change the transmission fluid anyway. Failure to do so will result in unneccessary wear on the gearbox.How do I know if my car needs a transmission fluid change?
if it is an automatic, then there is a stick , but you have to know where it is. off the top of my head i dont remember but i know that it is there. go by the mileage, every 30,000 miles. if it is a manual there is a check plug.
