Can stalling be caused by too much transmission fluid?
A vehicle stalling can be just one problem associated with having too much transmission fluid in the vehicle. Excessive transmission fluid can cause the gears in the transmission to heat up and experience damage as well.
Why are there transmission problems?
Because a tranmission is a machine and any machine will eventually fail. Over time, heat and friction cause wear on the transmission. Proper use and maintenance can extend the life of a transmission, but the gears will still wear over time with ordinary use. Seals can also be damaged by improper maintenance. Things that may cause unnecessary damage include driving the vehicle when the transmission fluid is low, using the wrong fluid or contaminated fluid, or shifting into gear at high speeds.
What causes a transmission to go bad?
The most common reason for a transmission to go bad is not maintaining it properly. Another cause is hot temperature. Heat can break down the fluid that protects the transmission causing it to fail.

Transmission fluid 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee What transmission fluid do I need for?
Automatic transmission is a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee uses ATF4. Use of other grades of fluid will cause damage to transmission. Addition to answer: The new ATF4 that they recommend is the recommended fluid due to Heat, load, speed and environmental stresses the transmission in these vehicles will undergo. There are other ATF fluids which even exceed the manufacturers ATF4 fluid... meaning they are even better for your transmission. For instance a Hydrotex HyTorque Trans Fluid exceeds the manufacturers ATF4 fluid by ALL specifications. But the original answer is correct, do not put anything of lower value into your transmission or it could cause damage over a long period of time.
Does my car need transmission fluid?
vehicles with automatic transmissions require transmission fluid. vehicles with manual transmissions require either transmission fluid or gear oil. the fluid helps reduce friction between internal parts, reduce heat, and lubricates.
How do you change the automatic transmission fluid in a 2002 hyundai sonata 2.7l?
There is a plug on the bottom of the transmission to drain it. You will need to heat up the fluid before you drain it. Be very carefull of the hot fluid.

Two names for the part of the radiator that automatic transmission fluid flows through are the transmission oil cooler and the heat?
Exchanger
Why is transmission fluid leaking from the radiator on your 2001 Camaro ss?
Because there are lines running from the radiator to the tranny, this lets the fluid flow through and be cooled so that it does not over heat in the tranny and cause damage to your bands inside your tranny.
Can a transmission flush cause the axle seals to leak?
A transmission flush is done by removing the two transmission lines that go into the radiatior. Then the machine is filled with fluid and the car is started. The front pump in the transmission turns which causes the fluid to be pushed thru the system. Once the old fluid has been evacuated the car is turned off and the transmission lines are reconnected to the radiator. There is nothing in the flush procedure that can effect the axle seals. The are rubber with a small wire spring that causes them to hold their shape. Only high heat, old age or a chemical on them would cause wear and allowing failure.
What causes a 2000 Chevy Tracker 4-cylinder to over heat?
lack of care and maintenance in the radiator dept.....how about checking your radiator fluid? checking the radiator itself for leaks, and replacing your thermostat. if this does not work then the problem could be lack of changing the oil....or burning of your transmission check your oil and tranny fluid.....flush the transmission....also if you tow stuff with your tracker you could easily burn out your transmission and that could cause the vehicle to over heat as well.
