4 Symptoms Of Low Transmission Fluid

hey everybody I'm here today to tell you four symptoms of being low on automatic transmission fluid in this video I'll be going over four simple things that will likely happen if your transmission is low on fluid let's get right to it the first thing that might happen the first symptom that I'm gonna outline is hard shifting if you drive in the car and whenever it shifts a gear it throws you forward or back and it really feels like a jolt and that could be a very very very very likely symptom a very common symptom of being low in automatic transmission fluid so if you're driving and with every year that it shifts it feels like it's jolting you forward or back or just jolting you in one direction or the other that's a symptom of low transmission fluid the second symptom that I want to outline is a delayed shift so if you shift into reverse and it's like 2 to 3 seconds before the car actually gets into reverse then that is a huge symptom a delayed shift ok so by the time you actually shift the car into reverse or drive if it takes a few seconds to actually kick into reverse or drive kick into gear to get into gear that's another symptom so that's the second symptom of being low on transmission fluid the third symptom is slipping transmission slipping if you're driving your car and it feels like your transmission is slipping if you push your foot down on the gas pedal and the engine revs up but the car is not actually moving any faster that's a sign of a transmission slipping and that can happen when you're low on automatic transmission fluid so a transmission slipping is a key identifier in being low on automatic transmission fluid the best way to do this would be to just you know get on the highway get on a road that has a decently high speed and then just give your car gas press the accelerator pedal and if the revs go up if the engine speed goes up but the car speed does not go up that's when you know your transmission is slipping and that's a sign one of the signs of being low on transmission fluid there are other things that can cause an automatic transmission to slip but being low on transmission fluid it's one of them and you should be looking for a few of these signs and symptoms together because if you see a few of these symptoms together that's gonna lead you to know that your your your car is low on transmission fluid that is the problem and last but not least the fourth symptom of being low on automatic transmission fluid is if your automatic transmission is overheating now transmission fluid is responsible for a lot of things and is basically responsible for causing the automatic transmission to work properly and to function properly but it is also responsible responsible for keeping it cool so if you have an overheating transmission that's a really really good sign that you are going to be low on automatic transmission fluid and and that's basically it in this video I've gone over four symptoms of being low on transmission fluid once again there are a few different things that can cause each of these symptoms individually but the key is to look for a few of the symptoms together and when you find out that your car is low on transmission fluid you haven't found the root of the problem yet because you can refill it but the point is you have to figure out why it got low on transmission fluid what is the reason that it is low on transmission fluid and then once you've found that reason you can fix it and make sure it doesn't get low on transmission fluid again but that's basically it I really hope that you've enjoyed this video look for these symptoms together give this video a thumbs up if you liked it and subscribe for more car videos just like this one and that's all I have for you today thanks for watching
