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

What is the problem when the car leaks transmission fluid and starts but won't go anywhere?

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.

What are the symptoms when out of transmission fluid in Ford Explorer?

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.


What causes delayed shifting when trans is cold?

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.
