SOURCE: leaked tranny fluid.

Your transmission fluid runs to the front of the car in different lines for cooling. you busted one of the lines. figure out what is broken by looking under car when running (in park with brake on), preferably while parked halfway on a curb for better visilbility. Fix the problem or have mechanic fix it. You shouldn't keep driving, without AT fluid, the car wont move...
Hope this helps

PS Don't even think about buying stop-leak fluid..!

SOURCE: My 1992 Nissan Stanza has transmission leak.

The stop leak treatment may help the seals to seal better but I would get the car to a good transmission shop since it has that many miles on it. The fluid probably needs flushed out and changed by this time.

lvd, Start the car, leave the shifter in park position.
Remove the transmission dip stick, wipe it clean, reinsert the dip stick and verify it is between the add and full mark.
Do not go over the full mark as that will create a slip condition caused by foaming oil.
Let me know.

SOURCE: 88 Jeep Cherokee Transmission Fluid Leak

you need to tighten those fittings with a wrench... if they still leak... remove them and wrap them with a couple turns of "teflon tape" the kind they use for plumbing. the clamps you should use are hose clamps of the same type that you use for radiator hoses... you will note these can be tightened with a socket.... you really don't need to over tighten them but fairly snug... transmission fluid has quite alot of pressure.

SOURCE: transmission fluid loss

The transmission is either going to leak out the front by the engine, or by the halfshafts, or possibly by the shift detent which is unlikely. Check the connections to the radiator - the small lines that go there as one of them can be broken. make sure everything is completely cleaned off and your transmission has fluid in it before you check it. If it is full, it should leak with the engine running in neutral or park. If not, you can always have your foot on the brake and shift into the gears to see if it will leak then. Smoked transmission when out of fluid may mean trans will not work any longer... Hope this helps you, Rick

Trans just outside blue started slipping bad

Year make and model helps. Any codes you may have would help also. But always first thing, check the transmission fluid and for any leaks. Could have a severe transmission cooler line leak. Keep driving it like this, it will soon be a transmission rebuild.

Automatic Transmission Problems

  1. Check the transmission fluid level, if it's low, you have a leak & Look for fluids that have leaked on the ground below the transmission. Check the transmission case as well. Fluid can leak from seals, gaskets, fluid cooler and lines. Pinpoint the exact source of the leak to make proper repairs.
  2. Place a few drops of transmission fluid on a white paper towel. Red or light brown fluid that spreads easily over the towel is in good condition. Dark brown or black fluid that is gooey or thick fluid needs replacing to allow proper pressure and lubrication within the transmission.
  3. Replace the fluid filter to ensure it's in good working order. Check the old filter for metal shavings, which are a sign of wear and require a fluid flush.
  4. Look at your check engine light to verify it has not come on. If the check engine is on, take the car to a mechanic who can pull the code and pinpoint the problem. Electronic transmissions can detect even small faults in operation, and you may want to drive the car to verify that the problem was not a one-time or erroneous error.
  5. Seek the assistance of a professional if the car is no longer going into gear, slipping out of gear while driving or a substantial amount of fluid is leaking. Fixing a transmission problem on your car early can save you money and help keep you on the road for a long time to come.

Blew an oil line while driving. replaced it, added oil. car started right up prob is auto trans would not engage in any gear. no previous problem. does low oil press affect the trans??

Blew an oil cooler line or a transmission cooler line? Low transmission fluid would keep it from moving. Trying to drive it to long with transmission fluid about empty, would burn up the transmission. Oil pressure won't affect the transmission.

I have a leak in a cooler line in transmission, put fresh transmission fluid in but problems with something slipping and stall coming from stopped position and going up an incline.

If the transmission is full of fluid, I would think you either have a fluid pressure problem or your clutches are worn out and the trans is slipping. Either way, if it is full of fluid it will need to be removed and either rebuilt or replaced.

Trans just started slipping 2002 Dodge Stratus with 54000 miles no signs of problems before do you check trans level in park or drive?

You allways check the transmission fluid level in car after the car has a few minutes to worm up. If you have not had the transmission fluid and filter change in a long time then you need to do it. The fluid and filter should be changed every 30,000 miles to keep you from having problems. Hope this will help you.

I have a 1999 dodge ram with 171k miles on it. just recently i noticed the traqnsmission slipping i checked the fluid and it was low. i added the fluid it helped for a little while but then the same thing...

Yes, it could be leaking into the radiator from transmission cooler in the radiator. I would flush as much of that out as you can and replace the radiator, the anti-freeze is very damaging to your transmission.

I have oil in radiator ,transmission slips

Does the oil in the radiator look reddish? likely it does...You most likely have a failure inside the radiator where the trans cooler coil runs through it. Replace radiator and have trans fluid changed and flushed. If slipping continues trans will need a rebuild. (hope not)

2002 saturn sl1 automatic transmission slips/leaks..

what you might be seeing is the fluid that leaked before still coming off the transmission. is the level staying steady ?

it might be slipping or you are more focused on how the transmission shifts now then you were before.

there is a product i have tried on slipping transmissions and it's made by lucas (can't remember the exact name) it basically thickens the transmission fluid to prevent slipping. according to the label it would not void the warrenty (if you have any remaining on that car).
