Best Answer

Safe will be determined by when and how often it slips. If you are towing up hil and it starts slipping, you may end up going backwards. If it slips as you are turning and you cant move you can get rear ended or otherwise crashed into. Check your fluid level, if its low, add a little. Follow the directions in your owners manual carefully, different trans fluids are NOT compatible and will cause damage.
