For an automatic transmission, check the fluid level on the ATF dipstick. Refer to your owner's manual for the location of the dipstick.
If the level is low, use a funnel to add more ATF by pouring it into the ATF dipstick tube. Be sure to use the right kind of ATF. The new "D/M" ATFs can be used in most cars.

Most likely cause is that the auto transmission is low on fluid. The only accurate way to check the level of transmission fluid is to have the engine running (at normal operating temperature - like after a 10 mile trip) and check that fluid level. If it's low, add as required, but a little at a time. An overfilled transmission can be just as harmful as one that is running low on fluid.

94 merc topaz trans problem?
My transmission was low on fluid. My gears would slip, I'd be driving and then I'd push on the gas and I wouldn't go any direction. I was checking my transmission fluid while the car was off and it said there was enough fluid in it. I started checking my fluid while it was running and found out I was out of transmission fluid. Once I put fluid in it, my problem went away and has been running good since.

1995 Eagle Summit 1.8 Liter with automatic transmission suddenly behaves as if always in neutral with no unusual noises and no prior symptoms?
The first thing to check is transmission fluid level. Start the car and let it warm up to normal running temperature. With the engine still running, pull the dipstick for the transmission fluid and verify that it's in the "hot" range. If you are low on fluid, look for any transmission fluid leaks. Look primarily around the oil seals where the axel enters the transmission, and inspect the gasket for the transmission pan.
