I still recieve that error message for tranny malfunction. Not everytime but sometimes, maybe there's not enough oil cause I was drving in a hard ramp on high speed and receive that message again. After 5-10 minutes it's gone I think maybe there's not enough oil. Does anybody know if I can check my oil?

You should put your car and location info in your signature so we can help you better, but the early (2004) SMG had hydraulic issues and TCU issues. None of the fixes were as simple as adding fluid unfortunatley.
