Transmission is on its last leg. The seals are needing to expand via heat; fluid is basically seeping by the seals until the parts expand enough to stop the leakage. It will continually get worse
I would check the transmission fluid level.
My 1991 Buick Century won't move or hold transmission fluid
Low transmission fluid will cause the vehicle not to move. Try filling the fluid and see if it works. good luck
check transmission fluid level bad transmission?
The transmission needs fluid to propel the car. If there's no fluid, you're going nowhere. Fill it up, and find the source of the leak. It could be a transmission seal, or maybe it's as simple as a damaged line from the rad. Don't try to move the vehicle at all until the transmission is full of fluid. You could burn out the transmission, causing a very costly repair.
The car will not move when you put it in gear.
Check transmission fluid level Could be a bad transmission pump
Check transmission fluid level Perhaps needs transmission rebuild
Typically when an automatic transmission runs out of fluid, you will notice an increase in RPM's between shifts as well as the shifting nor being as smooth (clunks into gear). When the fluid gets extremely low, the car will simply cease to move as there isn't enough fluid to build pressure to allow the transmission to work properly. At this point, you've likely caused internal damage and fixing a leak/adding more fluid will not help.
Delayed shifting is because the transmission fluid is not warm enough to move through the internals of the transmission. You may need a transmission service,,,,,fluid change, new filter, etc. Transmission Fluid degrades with age.
Slipping , slow to move, won't move, shudder, chatter, all are damaging to transmission.
check the transmission fluid first
