How do i add transmission fluid to my 1997 isuzu trooper automatic transmission

Yesterday I was driving home from work and all of my warning lights came on as I was driving on the highway then shut off. I exited the highway and came to a stop light. As I began to accelerate, it seemed as though my transmission was stuck in a higher gear. I slowly reached a higher speed and it was shifting gears just fine. As I reached the next stop light I manually put it in Low "L" gear to see if my transmission was completely screwed. It accelerated just fine. I think it may be a fuse because when I got home I turned my car off and back on to test it and the acceleration was normal. My warning lights then flashed on and off again and it failed to switch back to the low gear when I was at a stop.

Do not add ATF oil willly-nilly
never just add it ever.
we must check it first. using the correct method.
its done hot engine, and in park,
and never ever overfilled.
warning lamps acted odd, but never once named them all
making help for that near impossible. sad no?
they have names and all are important.

im thinking RPM is low, its not the transmission at all
its the engine is weak.
and the CHECK engine lamp came on and then you IGNORED IT.
why?
get car scanned now, or serviced
ever get a tuneup this decade, No? wow.

Have the fault codes read as it could be wiring or TCM problem
if you have a transmission dipstick , add oil via that tube

I had this problem once after I had taken the trooper to a car wash and washed under the hood. Got the blinking light and low power on take off. I took off the bracket that holds the trans relay along with a few other relays located on the right wheel well under the hood. Took the relay wire conections apart and cleaned them and it worked like a charm again. Even better than before. You may just check the leads to the relay to ensure that they are not corroded or gummed up. Also it may just be your relay malfunctioning. In any case your trans relay is the one that is visible without taking of the mounting bracket. Good luck

If the fluid is up -
it could be a vacume loss or the shifting module..
The shifting module is what tells it to shift - and it is controled by vacume pressure..

I would change the trans flter, trans fluid, and have the linkage on the trans adjusted.

Are there any Isuzu dealers in America anymore? I thought they all left. If you have one still, go to it.

Where to check tranny fluid, cant find dipstick??

1999 Isuzu Troopers w/automatic transmissions do not come with a dipstick. It is a sealed transmission just like a manual transmission. The fluid must be checked by removing the fill plug. Emergency brake on, engine running,warmed up ,vehicle in neutral. When removing the fill plug ,which is on the side of transmission- at the top, fluid should slightly drip out. If fluid doesnt drip out you need to add fluid. You will need a small hand pump to fill it.

Transmission slipping and light is blinking

check the trans. fluid level. the procedure should be in your owners manual. if you cant find the procedure, a good default is to have it in neutral on a level surface with the parking brake on with the engine running. find the dipstick with "trans" or an icon of a gear on it. if it's low, add fluid. when you add fluid, add about a half a quart at a time. and after every time you add, get in, put your foot on the brake and shift back and forth from park to reverse to neutral, to drive a few times, slowly. if you're unsure of what type of fluid to use, ask the boys at the parts counter. if your fluid is not pink/clear red, you're in trouble. if it's brown, dirty, or has flakes in it, your trans is junk.

Isuzu Trooper 1997. Automatic Transmission holds gears too long.

Their is a power and normal drive in trooper's power for pulling a trailer and normal for normal driving. The power drive only changes gear at higher R.P.M. Their is a switch on the plastic cover under the handbrake with p & n their is a light in the dash as well. If you are not aware of this switch then just needs switching over if you are aware of it then its probably the fuse to activate it or a wiring problem with it, Cheers

The automatic gear jumps to neutral or emergency state

try replacing your automatic transmission fluid to ease up the driving, if it doesnt change, try to see a mechanic to check on the automatic tranny. hope this helps

Where do you add transmission fluid

i believe your trooper is like my isuzu rodeo which have a sealed transmission which could be checked by yourself by srewing off the bolt on the top of the tranny, or take it to a transmission place and they will charge you about $140 to replace the fluids on it

There was a problem on the late 80s - early 90s Trooper transmissions that whenever the system electrical voltage in the car drops below 14.0v the transmission goes into what automotiveforums.com has dubbed "limp mode" which is what you all are familiar with. (yes, I'm familiar with it too, it's my indicator of when I need to stick my battery on my charger)
Go buy a battery charger and charge your battery for a few hours at the appropriate setting when this occurs, you'll find that the problem will go away for a while (or until you use ALOT of electricity again)
You'll also find that it worsens during the winter and at night (when your headlamps and/or heater are on)

I hope this enlightens the situation for you all. Took me 4 years to find this answer.

I cannot find where to put the transmission fluid in my 1999 Isuzu Rodeo. There is not an area on top to put more fluid, let alone check the fluid.

I have a 1995 rodeo with an automatic. the fluid level is measured on the dipstick, which is next to the oil dip stick on the v-6 anyway. you add fluid by removing a plug unedr the vehicle mounted up near the center of the transmission.
