Can replacing a transmission cooler line cause air to get into the system and cause slippage and poor gear shifting in an automatic transmission?

Even if the cooler lines had air in them, it won't be circulating in the system long because when it travels into the transmission oil pan it simply floats up and eventually out the vent on top of the transmission. There is always air in the transmission it just doesn't tend to circulate through and even if it does unless it's a large amount (which means your fluid is low) it won't cause problems. My advice is check your fluid level while the vehicle is warm, running, and in park. Also, you may have lost a lot of fluid from the line that I'm assuming broke or was leaking and overheated the transmission.

Why would your car feel like it shifting gears going down the high way but not in low speeds like in town?
Automatic transmission shifts can be related to fluid temperature and some vehicles also have sport style settings that can change shift quality. If the shifting is irregular and causing unusually high engine speeds this could be a symptom of transmission gear slippage. Gear slippage can result in transmission damage, and should be checked as soon as possible. Automatic transmissions are complex systems, and their overhaul/replacement can be very expensive repairs.
How do you fix the slippage on an automatic transmission in 1991 Honda Accord?
Check the automatic transmission fluid level. If it is low add enough to reach the full mark. If it is not low seek professional help. If you have to add fluid use only Genuine Honda automatic transmission fluid. Use no substitute.
How do you know if the transmission is going in a car?
Can you shift gears? IF you can its at least working. I guess your question means the opposite. So if you feel slippage when shifting gears or cannot operate in one gear (reverse, for example), the transmission is about to give out.
Why does a 1994 Mazda Miata automatic transmission slip in 4th gear?
A 1994 Mazda Miata's automatic transmission may slip in 4th gear if the bands are heavily worn. When the bands become worn, they are unable to grip properly and cause slippage.
How do I repair transmission slipping?
You don't repair transmission slippage. Transmission slippage is usually caused to damage with the transmission, usually with wear and tear of continual automatic changing in the gears. Transmission repair is not typical so transmission replacment it the alternative means. And it is said to be costly. Be prepaired for that. You can try to use alternative means to stabalize and reduce the transmission slipping, but that would be temporary. There are synthetic fluids to place in the transmission which does one of two things; 1. Breaks down the transmission fluid to remove build up and grit which might have built up and congested the transmission gears needed to shift or 2. create traction by coagulating the transmission fluid in order to help re-enfforce more traction with gear shifting. Recommendations: Do not change transmission fluid and transmission filter, for the fluid in the transmission should be thick and gritty, at this point, and should be more than enough to create traction with helping the shift changes in your car. Change your gears to drive on "1" or "2", instead of regular "D." In doing so, your transmission will shift at different intervals, letting you drive better with less slippage. But remember, in driving on "1" or "2", you will waste more gas and your regular automatic shifts when in "D" will alter shifting later than usual, which will also cause a slower take off and a more sudden stop.
Why my automatic transmission 1997 Ford Aspire will not go into gear?
Do you have enough transmission fluid in the trans? Be sure it is full and you will notice and instant change. If not, have a transmission mechanic check the bands to ensure there is no slippage, otherwise, I'm not sure. I hope this helps, E200
What causes transmission slippage on a ford Taurus?
check your transmission fluid, if it is low it will slip
What is OBD II code p1870?
Transmission component slippage.
What cause transmission slippage on a1997 sun-fire?
Low or dirty transmission fluid Transmission bands are worn
If your car revs up real high when you step on the gas but has a hard time moving forward is this a symptom of belt slippage?
Belt slippage usually results in a squeeling noise and the belt will eventually heat up and self-destruct. You may have a clutch problem if the power is not getting from the engine to the tranny. Or it can be a trans problem is something inside is worn and slipping. Check the transmission fluid if it is an automatic. If the transmission fluid is good and it is an automatic, you will probebly have to take it to a transmission shop. Very little can be done to repair an automatic without removing it from the vehicle. If it is a manual, have a qualified mechanic check the clutch. I've had the same problem,it turned out to be transmission problem. I had to pay $1400 to rebuild my transmission. The longer you drive with a bad transmission,the more damage is being done to it.
What uses more petrol auto or gear?
All other things being equal, an automobile with an automatic transmission will, under normal circumstances, get slightly worse mileage than a standard shifting auto, due mainly to the power losses inherent in an automatic transmission. However, it's very possible to drive a 'stick shift' roughly enough so that it's advantage is quickly eliminated. Recent advances in automatic gearboxes allow them to eclipse the efficiency of standard gearboxes. Some reduce power loss by locking the torque converter so there is less slippage, some have continuously variable gearing (check out: http://cars.about.com/od/thingsyouneedtoknow/a/CVT.htm) and some manual gearboxes have electronically controlled shifting that blurs the distinction between standard and automatic.
Mazda 626 transmission slippage problems?
my car has been slipping in the transmission would it be the that the transmission is bad or is the filiter and the transmission fluid needing changed?
