it'll hurt it if you don't add fluid! Add fluid as recommended in our manual ( checking level after driving, running in Park). See a mechanic. Most leaks are not catastrophic, many times just a cooling line,etc.

Can the transmission fail if you changed the fluid that has never been change before?
It is unlikely that the transmission would fail after a fluid change. The transmission filter should be changed at the same time. If it was not changed at the same time it could have caused the issue.

Does the transmission filter on 96 thunderbird need to be replaced?
if the fluid in your T- bird has never been changed before... DO NOT change it now unless your ready to pay for a tranny overhaul or a rebilt. The new fluid will (9 times out of 10) cause your seals to start leaking. ask a tranny expert who is not after your business.
When do you get a transmission flush on Pontiac g6?
Your owner's manual will probably tell you never. IMO, I would have the transmission fluid changed at 75,000 miles. Of course this will have to be done at the dealer as the transmission is sealed.

there is no dipstick to check the fluid, the fluid is lifetime and never needs to be changed or serviced, there is a fill plug on the bottom of the transmission, engine running, and trans warm, fluid should pour slightly out of fill plug..
How do you check the level of transmission fluid in a 2000 Pontiac sunfire?
as far as i know you cant check the transmission fluid on a 2000 Pontiac sunfire. It uses dexcool automatic transmission fluid and very rarley needs to be changed, i have a manual shift and it never has to be changed. Actually the only way that you can change it is by having it flushed the same way you flush a radiator, it has to be sucked out by a machine.

How do you add transmission fluid to a Chevrolet 350 vortec engine?

I have a 1994 Ford Ranger XLT it always needs transmission fluid but I never have a pudle from it leaking. Also when i hit the gas white smoke comes from the tailpipe. What wrong with it?
The transmission fluid could be leaking into the engine coolant through the transmission cooler in the radiator. You should be able to see the transmission fluid in the engine coolant recovery tank. It will look like a oily film on top of the coolant. White smoke (steam) out of the exhaust indicates engine coolant is leaking into a cylinder.This can be a result of a blown cylinder head gasket or a cracked cylinder head. Have the engine coolant system pressure tested to detect the leak.
When do you change the transmission fluid on a 2002 C240 Mercedes?
Transmission fluid needs to be changed every 39k miles on your car. dont worry if you have not changed the fluid yet and you have 60k + on it, you can still do it and be ok. if your car has over 110k miles and have never had the fluid changed I would recommend NOT changing it. Because by then all the silver/metal is holding stuff together, and if you change that out, you could cause more problems.....I have seen it happen. but yeah every 39k miles is good.
