   An easy to check the level,assuming the system is still working,is to flip 
the trans level test switch located top/left of the "Alfa Check Control" on 
the dash.The little light should be lit.If not, the level is low or the test 
system doesn't work.
   To be sure,you should raise the car,preferably on a hoist and with it hot 
and running remove the 6mm (10mm head)bolt located next to the trans oil pan 
in that cylinder-looking aluminum housing with a wire hopefully attached to 
the top of it.With the car as level as possible,you should see fluid 
trickling out.If not,the level is low.Filling the trans is even more 
fun........Remove the wire & rubber boot from the top of the housing.With a 
22mm or 7/8th's wrench,carefully remove level sender unit from housing and 
add fluid from the top of the housing.An easy(?) way to add fluid is to 
remove the R/R wheel and with a funnel & 3 foot length of hose keeping the 
funnel higher than the inlet.When fluid leaks out the level hole,you,re full. 
Of course you,re working right next to the hot exhaust the whole 
time........Also plan on making a mess........
            Hope this helps.....
