An old solution for this problem as a last resort is to put in 2 or 3 capfuls of Brakefluid into the Trans. Sometimes the problem is the internal seals are hard and the Brakefluid makes the seals swell.

This restores the seals and eliminates fluids bypassing the seals . The restored pressure can make the clutches grip if there is any material left on them.

Is there a place to add transmission fluid to a 2002 kia sport age clutch, mine is slipping

no transmission fluid in a clutch system
only brake fluid
and that is in the reservoir at the top of the clutch master cylinder or shared with the brake master cylinder
if the clutch is slipping it indicates the need to replace the clutch master cylinder or tor replace the clutch assembly
Clutch master cylinder is cheaper and easier and is generally the main reason for slipping clutches unless you have a cable clutch in which case replace the cable

What cause a the transmission to slipp an not go into drive are reverse ?

The clutch likely needs to be replaced.
Its a hydraulic system if somehow air got into the system it wouldn't shift to good but the clutch wouldn't slip because that would create a disengage problem..
Clutch slip is not engaging but would cause some shifting issues do to grab then slip condition.
How many miles are on the clutch.

Clutch slipping

if it started slipping in 4th then get a new car. The transmission is going out. 4th gear is connected to the clutch and you will need to replace the clutch and the transmission when it gets worse. It costs in upwards of 2,000 dollars to replace and or rebuild. Good Luck

Transmission slipping

This normally means your clutch is worn down and needs replacement. Much less likely is that the clutch pedal travel needs adjustment.

Replacement of the clutch requires removal of the gearbox and is much easier with a shop hoist. I'd recommend replacing the pressure plate assembly as well.

Car slipping in uphill acceleration is it my tires or something more is wrong with it?

Hi,
If the engine is revving but your not going forward then it sounds like your clutch is slipping if it is a manual, or the clutch packs are worn if it is an automatic transmission. Either way the clutch or transmission will need to be repaired or replaced. Hope this helps, let me know how you get on.
