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.

Why wil my transmission not change gears properly?

The most common problem with an automatic transmission has to do with the transmission fluid. If it is low, old, or burned smelling, it may cause problems that do not allow the vehicle to shift properly. A loss of transmission fluid can allow air to get into the hydraulic system causing multiple problems. A slip or jerk will usually indicate that pressure has been lost for this reason. If the vacuum hose on the modulator is clogged or disconnected, the transmission will delay shifting or might not shift at all, and you may hear a loud whining sound which increases as the car accelerates. If the cable is broken, disconnected or misadjusted, the transmission will not shift properly. If the linkage is misaligned or disconnected multiple problems may occur. With so many components and so many possible problems, it takes experts like those here at Transmission Headquarters to properly do automatic transmission repairs.


Why does the 1997 Jeep transmission make a loud noise when starting?

A loud noise when starting a 1997 Jeep could be due to several factors, including a failing starter motor, a worn flywheel, or low transmission fluid levels. If the starter is not engaging properly or if there's an issue with the teeth on the flywheel, it can create a grinding or clattering noise. Additionally, if the transmission fluid is low or contaminated, it may cause the transmission to make noise during startup. It's advisable to have a mechanic inspect the vehicle to diagnose the exact cause.

You have a 1990 Ford Tempo It was running fine but now it won't accelerate past about 30 mph without the rpms going way up and the engine getting really loud so What could be causing this problem?

sounds to me you might be having transmission problems. If you never got the transmission pan replaced it may be time for it. Its a gasket that goes bad and makes the fluid leak. I'd suggest going to aamco.

Why does your 1997 BMW 528I make a loud thump when you put it in park or reverse?

Hi Automatic transmissions like everything else require regular servicing. The bands in the gearbox wear as they have material on them just like a clutch plate or brake linings. Periodically these need tightening up or cause a bang when engaging. Secondly an engine that is idling too fast can also cause this. Check the transmission fluid level too while you are at it, somtimes a low fluid level can cause problems. This must be checked with the engine running. Make sure the selector is in park or neutral and that the hand brake is engaged before standing in front of the car.
