Transmission fluid flow diagrams - 1999 Honda Accord

It sounds like you may be experiencing transmission issues with your 1995 Chevrolet 2500. Here are a few possible causes for the symptoms you described:

1. Low transmission fluid: Check the fluid level and condition of the transmission fluid. Low or dirty fluid can cause problems with shifting and may cause the transmission to slip.
2. Transmission filter: A clogged or dirty transmission filter can also cause issues with shifting and slipping. Replace the filter and see if that improves the situation.
3. Shift solenoid: The shift solenoid controls the flow of fluid to the transmission and can wear out or become damaged over time. If the solenoid is faulty, it can cause problems with shifting.
4. Valve body: The valve body is responsible for controlling the flow of fluid to the transmission and can also become worn or damaged. This can cause issues with shifting and slipping.

It is recommended to have a certified mechanic diagnose and repair the issue as transmission problems can be complex and require specialized tools and knowledge to fix.

1. ransmission fluid: Low or dirty transmission fluid can cause a range of transmission issues, including loss of reverse and overdrive. Check the transmission fluid level and condition, and consider flushing and replacing the fluid if it is dirty or low.
2. Transmission filter: A clogged transmission filter can restrict the flow of fluid through the transmission and cause issues with reverse and overdrive. Consider replacing the transmission filter and flushing the fluid to see if this resolves the issue.
3. Shift solenoid: The shift solenoid is responsible for controlling the flow of fluid through the transmission to engage different gears. If the solenoid is faulty or damaged, it can cause issues with reverse and overdrive. Consider having the shift solenoid tested and replaced if necessary.
4. Valve body: The valve body is a complex component within the transmission that helps to control the flow of fluid and engage different gears. If the valve body is damaged or worn, it can cause issues with reverse and overdrive. Consider having the valve body inspected and replaced if necessary.
5. Internal transmission damage: If none of the above issues resolve the problem, there may be internal damage within the transmission that is causing the loss of reverse and overdrive. In this case, it may be necessary to have the transmission rebuilt or replaced.

It's important to address these issues promptly to prevent further damage to the transmission or other components in your Chevy Silverado

Your transmission is probably overheating. How many miles are on the vehicle, and have you had the transmission fluid flushed, and filter changed lately?

You could 1st start checking the fluid flow thru the radiator cooling lines by removing the lower trans. cooling line, aim the hose into a drain pan then starting the vehicle in park with an assistant. Make sure you are getting good circulating flow from the cooling return hose. The radiator coolers can plug partially with clutch material and cause an obstruction. A cooling line backflush would be needed to clear it.

If fluid flow is good, I would also change the transmission filter to make sure it is not a fluid obstruction there. Make sure you use mercon V fluid and don't overfill the transmission level while replacing the drained out fluid amounts.

The transaxle light blinking will set codes in the computer and you will need a transmission scanner code reader to have them read, usually a good repair shop or dealer can help.

.One of the most common causes of a slipping transmission is a low automatic transmission fluid level, also a dirty and/or clogged automatic transmission filter can impede the normal flow of automatic transmission fluid throughout an automatic transmission and cause the transmission to slip. Adequate, unobstructed transmission fluid flow is necessary for the optimal operation and function of an automatic transmission, including the function of the transmission bands and gears, two transmission components that routinely cause transmission slippage.Another cause would be faulty torque converter action and maladjusted transmission band.

Hi,

If you remove the lines off the transmission cooler and turn the engine over you will see which hose the fluid comes out of.
Then the other hose is your return hose to the transmission.

Thanks

02/'03 L200/L300's don't have transmission dipsticks most likely reflecting Saturn's confidence of a leak-free transmission, leaving only a red fill cap on the transmission. The actual method for checking transmission level is a very abnormal method; parking on a level surface, removing the transmission oil level bolt/cap from the transmission, observing whether or not fluid flows out. Excess fluid will flow out automatically establishing the proper level and amount of transmission fluid. Less would mean topping off by pouring some into the top access fill hole and observing if fluid flows out the leveled drain hole until fluid flows out. This would indicate proper levels and replacing the top and access plug is all that's necessary. Messy as compared to the old method. The access bolt will be sized differently from the other bolts holding the transmission sump on. I would assume your '01 L200 is the same. Use regular Dexron ATF red transmission fluid.

Hahaha..! Thats a funny response, but not a solution.

Assuming you're talking about the automatic transmission, there is no fill tube for your transmission. To fill the transmission, check the fluid level, or top off the fluid level, you will need a few different (non-traditional) tools. You will need some way to pump fluid up into the transmission from below due to the fill port being on the bottom of the transmission fluid pan. A bottle of transmission fluid (Dextron III) and a screw on fill tube from WalMart or Autozone can be used to fill the transmission with fluid.

Service to this transmission can be a fairly messy task. Operating temperature must be attained prior to fluid level adjustment. Once operating temperature has been achieved, two drain plugs should be located on the main transmission fluid pan. One plug is positioned vertically higher than the other. With the engine idling, remove the higher plug. When this plug is removed, fluid shouldn't flow from the hole profusely. If it does, then that's an idication that the unit is overfilled. If no fluid flows from the hole at all, then it may be an indication of a low fluid level. Use the desired devised method to pump fluid into the higher plug hole until fluid begins to leak from the plug hole. Once this occurs, then the plug must quickly be reinstalled.

It's messy and inconvenient; I know. Thank you to the General for the transmission and adventures with hot trans. fluid. Gee.., another good example of why Toyota passed ya up

Flush cooling system , and get transmission flushed & fluid and filter changed as well. Then install new radiator. Hopefully you caught it before damage to transmission.

there are two areas where you can add fluid from the front of the vehicle, doesnt matter what kind of car it is, one is for checking the oil the other is for the transmission fluid, but before you add transmission fluid i recommend your flush out the old transmission fluid first so all the grimey old fluid is out and at the same time can notice if any bits of metal are floating around
