no but it does have to warm to check and you need to check first to know if it needs fluid and some car have to be in neutral when checking so check with your manufacture manual in the glove box to see if it requires to be in neutral.
Maintaining transmission fluid in a car is important to keeping a car running smoothly. A person adds transmission fluid in the same tube of the dipstick, where they check the transmission fluid.
Transmission fluid will show full when it is cold, but low when it is hot if it is low on fluid. Transmission fluid has to be checked when the car is warm.
the car has to be warm running, in park, and level to check the transmission fluid
Your motor oil going bad would cause that. That is in the crankcase, not the transmission.
because the transmission didn't have IT'S fluid chanded every 25,000 miles.Answerthe automatic transmission fluid was changed and the solenoids, but it still will not change gears until the car is warm. AnswerProbably a tired/worn front pump.
Checking the transmission fluid is an important part of owning a car. A person pulls out the dipstick while the car is warm, wipes it off, dips it into the car and looks at the level of the fluid on the stick.
yes its best to add it and check it when the car is running and warm
Under the car, remove the bolt to transmission fluid container, and allow it to drain. Replace the bolt and add in a few quarts of transmission fluid, start the car and allow it to warm, check the fluid level and add more if needed.
You add some ATF (automatic transmission fluid) and hope your transmission isn't shot. Typical fill level is found with the vehicle in neutral and running (with parking brake on!) and the fluid is warm.
make sure car is on level ground...open hood...pull transmission dip stick...check transmission fluid level...if low, fill to cold fluid level on dip stick.....start the motor..let the car warm up....check fluid level again....fill to hot level on transmission dip stick....use manufacturer's recommended transmission fluid........usually instructions are on dip stick... make sure car is on level ground...open hood...pull transmission dip stick...check transmission fluid level...if low, fill to cold fluid level on dip stick.....start the motor..let the car warm up....check fluid level again....fill to hot level on transmission dip stick....use manufacturer's recommended transmission fluid........usually instructions are on dip stick...
Torque converter or the transmission oil pump getting worn or a valve in the transmission is sticking.
It is important to check the fluid levels while owning a car. To check the transmission fluid, make sure the car is warm, look under the hood for a yellow or red cap, sometimes labeled with Transmission, pull it out, wipe it off and dip it back into the tube, and pull it out and see the level of the fluid on the stick.
