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 fluid level is checked by loosening an Allen head bolt in the transmission pan. If the fluid starts to leak out, it is full. If not, it needs transmission fluid.
Check the transmission fluid level.
There could be an internal problem with the transmission. Check the transmission fluid for a burnt smell or odd color, indicating transmission damage.
a 95 mercuy cougar takes anywhere from 5 to 7 quarts of transmission fluid
The amount of fluid a transmission holds varies from vehicle to vehicle. To run properly, the average American vehicle holds anywhere from 2 to 4 quarts of transmission fluid.
what is the problem when the car will not go in drive or reverse? and the transmission fluid is still full
I Had the same Problem. I change my Transmission screen and replace the gasket. this solved my problem.
well you have to think does it have transmission fluid in it cause most cars i know will start fine but not move due to no transmssion fluid so check and make sure you have fluid then we can go from there.
not usually, it could make it leak or get air in the fluid and make it operate incorrectly
I had this problem today and found that it was low on Transmission fluid. Took my A8 to Jiffy Lube and for $49.97, they drained and filled the transmission with fluid. No more problem.
A Dodge Stratus shifting problem might begin because of dirty transmission fluid. This problem could also be caused by damage to the transmission due to wear and tear or low fluid.
This is commonly a problem with the transmission filter or fluid. Replace the transmission fluid or have your transmission filter taken in for maintenance.
