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.

Does a 95 sable have to be running to check the transmission fluid?
Any engine needs to running, and at normal operating temperature, before ever checking the transmission fluid level. Checking this fluid without the engine running will give false readings indicating a full reservoir, when in fact if running, may not even be half full in some instances. Equally as bad as a half full transmission is one that is overfilled - too much of a good thing will also kill the transmission.

Transmission keeps slipping on 200 Pontiac Sunfinre What should you check?
Check the transmission fluid level. You can only get an accurate reading on this if it is checked with the engine running and has been run for like 5 miles or so. Checking the transmission fluid when cold gives a false reading as ALL the fluid has drained into the pan.
