5 Symptoms of Low Transmission Fluid - How to Avoid Expensive Transmission Repair Bills

[@brettsuydam7457]

I had a failure a few years ago after low atf due to leaking cooler lines. Definitely a good idea to keep an eye on those things as the cars age.

[@chrisredfield3688]

How long did you drive with low atf for the transmission to fall

[@brettsuydam7457]

@@chrisredfield3688 honestly no idea since I wasn’t checking the fluid. But keeping an eye on it would have saved me.

[@walternaught]

Had my fluid changed as part of my vehicle's maintenance and started getting the whining afterward. I took it back and told them I thought it was coming from low fluid or the pump not working. They didn't believe me and did a bunch of other repairs only to come full circle back to the transmission fluid level. They topped it off and I haven't heard anything since.

Another thing to consider with delayed/hard shifts. I had a 1996 Nissan Maxima that started shifting from 1st to 2nd late. First it wasn't shifting until 2500 rpm, then 3500, 4500 and eventually 6000! which gave quite a jolt when it did shift! This was a gradual thing over 6 months. The fluid was good so I just assumed this old car was on its way out. Then one day it wouldn't shift at all so I thought well that's it. But a few hours later I started the car and the check engine light was on and the Overdrive light was flashing. I got codes from both the ECU and the transmission computer: bad throttle position sensor. A $70 part later and my transmission was shifting like it was brand new and lasted for years without issue. Unbelievable.

[@muscleman369]

I was wondering if the tps sensor would throw off my transmission. Its as if my torque converter isn't locking up, rpm is free to jump up and down with the flick of the pedal which isn't right and the overdrive won't freaking engage... Slowly buy surely it stopped shifting into overdrive.. Freaking annoying as freaaaakk I miss my damn manual trans.

[@ryans413]

Some cars also use the MAF sensor to determine shifts by looking at how much air volume is going into the engine. The TCM computer looks at that as well as the TPS to determine a soft shift.

[@Loyal_beauty87]

Dang, I brought my car up to Advanced Auto and it read 4 different codes. My vehicle started doing what yours did. It's been over a month. 1 code was for a sensor. My ex added fluid, but now there's a whining sound.

[@danielsimpson8929]

One bit I'd add for a delayed or hard shift. The internal problem could be the check balls in the valve body are worn and get partially stuck in their respective holes. This delays the shift mechanically, until the flow or pressure overcomes the stuck ball, moving it and completing the gear change.

[@Cyberbronco]

This is not a problem on female transmissions.

I have an '07 SUV that I bought in 2013. I did a "power flush and fill" (PS - don't do this) shortly after I bought it, and I waited 5 years before I replaced it. I had no issues with transmission or shifting in that time, I just want to point out...I just reached the 5 year mark and knew it was time to look at it again. Starting then, I just do a manual drain and fill myself. Costs me less than $100 a year to do, and yes, I do it annually now (the first two years after I did every 6 months). Bought my ride at around 187K, and she is almost at 460K now and still running like a champ. I did the shop "power flush and fill" only the one time and won't do it again because I have heard some horrible stories about the process causing more issues than it hopes to resolve. I digress. The procedure I use now is simple: - Wait until the engine is at ambient temp (usually I park it overnight and do this the next day) - Pull the dipstick out to allow flow - Remove the drain plug and allow it to bleed out into a pan, checking the color of the fluid or looking for particles/objects - Allow it to bleed til a slow drip - Replace the plug after wiping and checking for debris (I add a squeezable sealant to the threads only) - Using an old oil container for discarded fluid, see how much fluid came out (roughly) and replace that amount plus one "gulp" - Start the vehicle and allow each gear to be engaged for 30 seconds down the tree then back up the tree - Check level (this is a do or don't if you have no issues prior) - Take it for a slow ride at start/stop conditions in town then on to the highway for all gears The reason I wait til it reaches ambient temps is because the fluid I will be using to replace is at ambient, and if I drain when hot, the amount will be off radically. Always drain when it's at ambient temp. I must be doing something right because she still runs like a champ, as I have mentioned. When I do my annual bleed, the fluid that comes out is still very red in color. Not new red, but still very see through and not at all discolored. The key to a happy vehicle is routine maintenance. I'm gonna love watching her roll over to 500K and beyond. In this day and age that is almost unheard of. Spend $100 now or spend thousands later. Pretty simple economics.

Also transmission fluid is both for heat management and lubrication. Change your atf! And use quality stuff. If you have a Toyota/Lexus use ONLY oem atf. I've changed atf on my old 03 Camry and man the night and day difference in shifting made it feel like a new car lol.

[@LegoDork]

Good advice for draining anything on your car. Remive the fill cap/bolt/whatever first. You'll know you can fill it up when your done and it will drain faster and more thoroughly. Some transmissions use the same hole for drain and fill and you need special tools to service them.

[@nobenznofun9139]

Good one, I kind of missed emphasizing on regularly servicing your AT. A surprising amount of people believe it doesn't need maintenance. A good tranny oil service every 50000 miles or every 5 years will prevent all of those problems and dramatically extend your AT's life.

[@SocialPerspective101]

Change ATF every 5 years even though its less than 50k miles? (Provided it still looks red)

[@nobenznofun9139]

@@SocialPerspective101 the 5 years service maybe conservative but even without the milage ATF fluid has additives that brake down with age and foreign particles e. g. Dust and moisture built up over time. The transmission is not a hermitacally sealed system, it has a ventilation valve to compansate for fluids expanding under heat. So If 5 years seems to soon to you I would still at least recommend a service every 7-8 years.

@@nobenznofun9139 Thanks !

[@counterbalancelife4305]

Depends on the vehicle. My Honda Odyssey will only drain 1/3rd out during a change so it's supposed to be drained and filled with every other oil change or 15k miles. When I first realized this after having some shift issues on a 2012 I bought in 2017, I changed it 3 times in a row with some drive in between to get it mostly changed over. It was fine after that.

Good info. I recently swapped my transmission out for a used one, because it was falling into neutral instead of shifting to next gear. Swapped it out with a good one, and it still does it. Im lost. Only happens when at very very lil throttle. If i floor it, its fine. Very irritating.

[@haze_the_alchemist1123]

What u ended up doing.

[@thromboid]

In my limited experience, Japanese cars with CVTs can have very specific and non-obvious procedures for checking the transmission fluid level - for example, an older Nissan/Jatco unit which you're supposed to check with the engine running, or a Honda CVT which you have to check 60-90 seconds after turning the engine off. I can see why newer transmissions go with the overflow type fill ports - they're pretty foolproof.

[@christophervanzetta]

Checking at a certain temperature is with all transmissions though… One of the things that’s not said to the average DIY’er that can cause overfilling easily. As transmission fluid heats up, it expands. Sure the average person could save money doing it themselves but doing it correctly is more important

[@TaijiArban]

Usually, it's the little sensors and filters that mimics bigger issues. :(

[@FCT8306onTwoWheels]

1:51 we had a Nissan like that one time, had a CEL and the code said it was transmission solenoid A, a bunch of forums said it could be from dirty or low trans fluid. I looked underneath and the transpan was soaked and when i drained it only about 12 ounces came out. Changed the fluid, filter and gasket. Went from barely shifting from 1st into 2nd gear, to shifting buttery smooth. Did the fluid change and no CEL after the first drive of like five feet

[@Loyal_beauty87]

How long did you drive it like that? Or did you fix it right away? My car started showing signs of transmission issues over a month ago. The RPMs would rev up. Once I'm over 30 MPH, it wouldn't jerk or rev up. My ex checked the fluid and said it was low. I do not have a dipstick, so he stuck his pinky in the port to check it. I added transmission stop leak. Because when I was parked in the parking lot, there was brown fluid underneath my vehicle. It seemed to run better a week after, but only a few times of driving it. I brought it to an auto shop and they put a quart of transmission fluid in it for me. I don't think the kid that did that for me checked it himself. My ex checked it the next day and he said it was dry. He added two quarts. Well, now it's making a very loud whining sound. I have checked after driving it to see if there's fluid under my vehicle. And there isn't. So it seems like the leak stopped. But now it's making a loud whining sound. So frustrating 😢

But before doing that, I decided to change the transmission fluid at the same time, since I forgot to ask the previous owner if the transmission had gone a transmission service. I lifted the front tires only cause I only needed a small space underneath to a put my oil drain container. And when I finished replacing the oil, I put the car down and started the engine. When it started, the D4 was blinking and engine light came off at the same time. There were 6 codes which are about transmission related and non transmission related as well. I looked it up and i read that it’s a transmission problem. People have said that once I replaced the transmission, all those codes would go away. I was really surprised what happened. But I am still hoping to find out another way instead of replacing the transmission. Since the cost would be more than the car’s worth.

did you figure out your transmission dipstick on your 03 TB? When you say "engine cold dipstick reads" - and then "dipstick when engine is cold and when it drives it lowers" - does that mean your "cold read" is with the engine OFF? It has to be idling at least for the cold reading so the ATF sucks back - actually you have to drive it to activate the torque converter to suck it in. So a cold read still requires driving it.

Why does my fluid go way over the top hot mark when engine is cold but just in between the hot marks when engine is hot?

[@IslandTrickster]

Yeah I've encountered that same issue with a mechanic. They told me need new transmission. Cost around 700.. They didn't check the car just a professional assessment.😂😅 Anyways after putting in new atf the car works fine.😂

[@panzerwaffen2873]

Thanks a lot for all the information brother ..that's why I decided to subscribe to your channel long time ago...first things first...why to take your car to a transmission shop....people should check transmission fluid level first ....if is low refilling won't hurt and can save you thousands of dollars

[@dannysomoza9977]

What are the symptoms of a transmission Cooler Line leak? What is the average cost to repair? Also, can you drive with this problem if the leak is small ,or just beginning? Your response would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou. Hope your feeling better!!

Maybe you'll see this question I hope. I have a 2014 BMW X1 I'm working on. Everything seems to be good with it other than it making a consistent constant thumping noise in sequence as to a heartbeat and it only does it when the engine is up to operating temps. It continues to do this until you turn the car off. Just wondering cause I have a new water pump and I don't think it's the cooling system. Not sure but I cannot seem to figure it out.

Everyone I knew had covid last week, including myself

[@ruinunes8251]

All the best for you and everyone you know with covid.

[@trevorstackhouse4013]

I got a sickness that doesn't really hurt people my age. Don't worry though guys I got three experimental injections so i'm fine. Still got it though.

Yes, RnW jan, I hope you invest a few minutes to look into this, for example Dr Sam Bailey's videos. So you can keep making videos for years to come.

[@joehyundaitech7961]

when I checked my transmission fluid the fluid on the dipstick had a lot of bubbles on it. it is not low on the stick

[@didierf1432]

Good video.. but please answer the questions…

[@John-zn4lp]

"Sealed transmissions" should be f-ing outlawed. I get pissed having to lift and get under a car just to check the trans fluid. Places used to charge just $40 to do it, but now everyone wants $75 or more to put the car on a rack, and now I'm thinking twice.

[@JTHUMBLE1983]

My 2007 Honda CRV was making a whistling sound after driving it. Checked my fluids and my ATF fluid was low. Drove it yesterday and the sound was there but slightly lower. Drove it today and didn’t notice any whistling sound. Does it take a while of driving before it goes away completely?Also it whistled while i revved the engine in park with steering wheel straight, but didn’t whistle today.Thank you for your time.

[@christopherdavisson617]

Ok, so I have a 2017 Silverado 1500 (6l80 transmission). It's not low on fluid, the fluid is still pink, and it upshifts very smoothly through all the gears. But it has a slight clunk when downshifting from 2nd to 1st. I've also noticed a slight clunk if say I'm doing 60mph and have to brake quick the I accelerate heavy directly afterwards. It only does this when the temp is up to operating temp (185 to 194dgrs) and sometimes it doesn't do it at all. Any advice? Again it seems to shift very well when it's upshifting.

[@angelleos3397]

Yes that’s sounds like the normal transmissions of Chevys ! And honestly just look out the the torque converter shudder cuz they will need to do a change

[@DJRubenGAMINGTV]

is this for automatic or manuel transmision

[@maureenm1163]

Thank you

[@manuelmarrujo8197]

More videos please.

[@Yvette-o6w]

Thank you for your video I have a 2006 magnum 2.7 l rear wheel drive and it’s got a sealed transmission but I’m unsure if that is the same no because my engine blew when getting repair work done in a shop. 3engines later they put in a 2.7l from a 2008 Chrysler 300 would it still have a sealed transmission?

[@davidacevedo2774]

In a 2013 Honda Civic, it has never had a trans oil change and it has almost 90 k miles, should the trans oil and filter be changed, will it damage the trans?

[@youwantme30]

It won't damage it yet but u should change the tranny fluid like every 30-40k. Keep it on that schedule and you'll never have any issues

[@johnweiland9389]

All I know is many people that buy a nissan wind up cursing out the jatco transmission. Cvt seems the worst type.

[@smamas114]

What about fluctuating rpms when the needle is coming to idle ?

[@ThomasChutich]

Hi I have a 07 civic SI, I never had any grinds before I did a hwy pull with friend.then got off freeway and I did a 1 to 3rd gear pull and it didn't go in 4th gear and it just revved out so I let off gas I pulled over turned off car and restarted and was locked out every gear but when off I wasn't locked out.sorry for the never ending story lol...

[@mohsen-karimi]

Thanks for the videos. Just wanted to say Hi and also mention that I bought my LS460 for around $8K about 3 years ago after I saw your video about top 5 Luxury cars under $10K. It currently has more than 190K miles on it and still going strong. Do you have a shop in CA? Just wanted to say Hi in person lol

[@myRatchets]

Those are great cars, they not only last long but comfortable to drive as well. Unfortunately I don't have a shop, will be building a garage at the house soon though hopefully.

[@SpeedBrake-qy5ym]
