After adding it to your transmission, you should drive around for 15 – 20 minutes in order for it to fully blend with the existing fluid. You should notice the effects almost immediately.

What should I do if my transmission fluid is slipping?

Old transmission fluid is an issue because it does not provide the same amount of lubrication as new fluid. To prevent slipping and other shifting problems, you should service your transmission and change the fluid in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations for your specific car or truck.

What happens if the transmission fluid is low?

Transmission Fluids. A transmission that is low on fluid may slip or fail to shift promptly. Transmission fluid provides lubrication and hydraulic pressure for the transmission, so if the fluid is low or too old, you may experience shifting problems. Old transmission fluid is an issue because it does not provide the same amount…

What causes the gears to slip in an automatic transmission?

Low fluid level: Automatic transmissions depend on pressurized hydraulic fluid. A low fluid level can result in lack of pressure, preventing the gears from engaging like they should. This often results in transmission slippage. Solution: A transmission doesn’t “burn” fluid the way an engine can burn oil.

What causes the transmission fluid to turn orange?

Dirty transmission fluid: Metal debris and other contaminants can build up in dirty transmission fluid. This can cause a lack of pressure, preventing the gears from engaging. Dirty automatic transmission fluid can appear orange-reddish or reddish-brown. Solution: Replace the transmission fluid and filter (if your car has one).

What to do if your transmission fluid is dirty?

Can a worn transmission pump cause transmission slippage?

Worn transmission pump: The transmission pump supplies pressurized hydraulic fluid to the transmission. A pump that is damaged or worn can result in a lack of internal pressure and transmission slippage. You may hear a whining noise, or notice a fluid leak. Solution: Typically, the transmission must be rebuilt or replaced when the pump fails.
