- In this video, I go over 4 symptoms of being low on transmission fluid. There are some common things that your car will do when it doesn't have enough automatic transmission fluid in it. Once you've figured out that it's low on transmission fluid, you can take the necessary steps to start to figure out why it was low on fluid!

Respect. People that share useful information are absolutely priceless in this World. Thank You.
I know you're that stupid too as him I see
I have exactly the same Symptoms and now my car stopped
Copy that. Juxta position is, ‘don’t pick my brain’, a statement which leaves me cold.

I respect your kind Bailey!
@@Faime1Up awww thank you💚💜❤
My engine had a slight rattle last time I turned it on, I was told I could be out of transmission fluid and not to drive until I could get it checked as it could blow my trans. I don’t drive it much since it’s not registered but all the auto shops are a fair distance from me and being told my transmission could blow I don’t feel like taking the chance to have it checked
@@moodiebluee I have to know.. did it workout for you?
The people who disliked this video probably didn’t have low transmission fluid they just had to get a new transmission 😆😆😆
I shouldn’t be laughing at this but...😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
😂😂😂
Looks like I need some fluid
I wanna laugh but idk if i need me one 😂
If you do happen to suspect your transmission to be low on fluid, it's not a bad idea to look for leaks. Gaskets and seals can naturally seep fluid as they age, but an excessively wet spot on the underside of the vehicle or dripping of fluid is a direct indication of a leak that needs to be repaired.
That fluid has to be going somewhere!
This was 100% more helpful than when I brought my car into the shop today.
Never bring your car into the shop unless it’s for something you really can’t do yourself or if you personally know them. Learned the hard way
@@drake4121 My car has a delay when shifting from P to R and D, and when it engages, it slams or kicks. I brought it to a shop and they said the trans has to be rebuild. I'm afraid the problem isn't actually that serious and that it could have been solved without spending that amount of money. I hooe they are not scamming... 🤬
@@leumamk5259 does the transmission slip when driving?
@@drake4121 Actually, no. Once you start driving it, there's no slipping, hesitation or clunk (at least I don't hear or feel any of that). The problem is only when moving from P to R and D and between R and D (in any direction). So I don't know why they have to rebuild the whole transmission.
@@leumamk5259 car drives good? Floor it a couple times see what happens
I have just came across your video due to some auto questions I've encountered. I have a slightly older 05 Chevy MC v6, not the SS so standard stock. I am not a wealthy individual, just an average Joe doing due diligence in trying to troubleshoot a odd issue with my car. long story short, I appreciate this video and your time in trying to help others with your input. I value People such as yourself, Who care enough to find the time to offer great sound advice. I'm a Proud New Sub for your channel and look forward to more to come. God Speed and Good Luck with your endeavors going Forward.
The man described all the symptoms of my car 😢. Thanks and much appreciated
My car was doing exactly that!!! I’m not gonna drive it until next Friday and bring it to the trans guy. But it drove beautifully until a few days ago. Transmission symbol light just came on in yellow. I’m hoping it’s exactly what you said it could be. This was a great informative video. You didn’t waste anyone’s time and you were right to the point. Definitely going to subscribe.
I really appreciate the amazing contact. I don't get why people are trying to be funny when ur providing useful and helpful information. Much respect.
@They killed pookie them bifocals baffles me

Oh Lord.
oh shit!!!]
He makes some videos where it sounds like he's screaming and now this one with the strange glasses.It appears he wants to use something in each video that draws attention,as if he's desperate for it. So ppl making fun of him,well he asks for it!! He should just be normal! or try to be!
Mate. Thankyou so much for this advice. We bought a car that had 1100 pounds spent on the gear box. We thought it was the gear box faulting but with what you have said, and the symptoms our car has. This is exactly what it will be. All I can say is thankyou for this video and have a great Christmas.
You had any problems since repairing? Thanks
Hi
This was excellent advice. My MB S65 V-12 AMG had these lingering problems after dealership repaired limp mode problem. These symptoms arose immediately after limp mode repair delivery. Added fluid myself. All symptoms are now gone. Thanks for sharing this knowledge.
Did you add the transmission fluid your self
@@wale4862did u even read his comment smh
“Get on the highway to see if your transmission is slipping” is the worst advice ever 😂
😂😂😂
This guys straight to the point, love it!
Exactly thanks for getting straight to it instead of the 90 min long intro music and talking bout nothing beforehand lol
Good video and I recommend to follow that 4...
Good info. Thank you so much. I didn’t realize I was low when it took a couple seconds to get into drive. Then today I got a transmission heat warning that I never had before. I needed to add 1/2 quart of atf +4 to get it to the correct hot level.
Thank you!!! Literally everything you said is what’s going on with my car, now I know. Respect to you man 🙏💯
Thank you sooo much for this video. I can't find any where ELSE for someone to give a straight Damn ANSWER about transmittion fluid and what the symptoms are or could be. Everyone else wants to throw in EVERYTHING ELSE under the Sun with it....I just wanna KNOW about low fluid!! Geez.. On my way to fill it now and then to keep an eye on it in the future and other reasons....but 1 thing at a time...
Wow!! My car has 3 out of the 4 symptoms.... I'm taking it to the mechanic tomorrow first thing... Thank you so much for this video. Very well explained!!!! 👌👍
Update?
@@carrieresammy :'(
Wow.Thank you for the Video. My car had 4/4 of the problem mentioned and when I filled the fluid, it is now functioning well. Thank you for sharing with us.God bless you
He and you other viewers are simply the BEST!!!! Thank you all for your input and MAY GOD BLESS ❤
Also let people know that OVERfilling a transmission will cause alot of these same symptoms so please check your fluid the correct way, you could have too much fluid and assume that its low based off this video and seriously overfill your transmission even more
i found my car having these symptoms, i checked if it was low on transmission fluid and i found that it was overfilled. i’m part of a low income family so taking it to a mechanic is out of the question. this is my only source of transportation. how can i fix an overfilled transmission at home?
@@alexiswilliams6161 look up the year and model of your car and watch a video on how to drain the transmission oil, then just buy the whatever transmission oil the manual car says to use and put the correct amount in
@@alexiswilliams6161 Most transmissions have a drain plug (which is often, as on my car, just a regular-old bolt sticking out of the bottom) which you can use to safely drain some of the fluid. My advice: Get 1 Quart of transmission fluid (look at the cap of the reservoir for the type, e.g., Mercon V). Drain out the fluid in amounts equal or less than 1 Qt. Check with multiple dipstick readings between drainings. Once you see that the dipstick is reading min or is dry, slowly add tiny amounts (like 1/10th of a quart MAX) until it's at the minimum level. Warm up the transmission, take a reading, and add some more if needed.
Bruh this dude just saved me hundreds
Thousands

U are a life saver man thanks for the detailed info & keep the good videos coming 👍
One of the best get to point of a video I've seen in years
Thanks so much! Very helpful info. My car has all the symptoms of being low on transmission fluid.
Thank You!!! This just happened to me today. I got my Kia towed to the auto shop so I pray it’s fluid and not the actual transmission 🙏🏾
Any updates
Dont be surprised if its one thing and they say its the other. Get a second opinion before going with a new tranny..
Don't take it on the highway to test the transmission! There's enough surface streets to do this on, and you won't end up on a road where you/re going 40mph while all the other traffic wanting to go highway speed is stacked behind you, and you can't exit the road for miles.
For the seemingly quick video shoot at a random indoor location, your audio quality is superb.
This man is a legend for this. I think I have pinpointed my problem now
Hey this really helped!
I had recently changed out the Head Gaskets on my 2003 Dodge Ram, 1500 2WD, 4.7L and I basically returned it back to the living! But... heater core is leaking, throttle was filthy dirty causing my RPM to go higher than it should. And just finally starting to fix everything step by step and since I removed the radiator/power steering everything to the compressor etc etc I overlooked the obvious. My darn transmission fluid. After 3 days that I changed the gaskets I didint think my transmission fluid needed checking since I just did a recent change in both motor and transmission fluids but all of these symptoms were happening! Then boom, check gauges light came on and I finally checked my motor and transmission fluid. BOTH were bone dry! Thanks a bunch! So far no leaks after I added both fluids. Thanks for the video!
Greetings from -San Antonio TX!
Jahaziel Ortega Was your car jerking when putting in D or R mode?
Thank you so much for the information you shared it really helped me a lot!

Thank you so much,that is just what happen to my 07 escalade and its scared the hell outta me..now I understand the problem. Thank you!
Thanks very much. Your presentation is very easy to understand and to follow. My car was jolting when trying to change into 4th gear. You’ve helped me a lot.
Great video man! My vehicle is doing 3 of those symptoms. Taking it to the shop today
I get something
this really helped. instead of paying $150 for a pressure control system all i have to do is refill. Google is no help at all, they just want ur money. thanks youtube for helping me save

This is literally what UA-cam was made for, helpful information!
That’s what is happening to my car, I haven’t check the fluid yet but this video was so helpful, thanks a lot, new sub 👍🏼
Helpful great Video friend. I thank you for helping people. Good guy!!!
🤗💖 Thank you so much, I really needed this. My vehicle is hard shifting when I'm driving and it scared the heck out of me because everyone else behind me had to slow down. I took my vehicle so a mechanic and I spent over $3,000 just to get my car back within a week and I'm still having the same problem. I really appreciate you👐🤗💜
😂😂😂😭😭 it happens I hate mechanics
Unless the car was rather new. I wouldnt spend 3k to fix it
I needed this video because after my oil change I was having these issues. Slight hesitation in shifting. I will check the fluid level tomorrow am.
Thanks for the tips. Much appreciated.
I really appreciate those amazing info
First off thank you for saving me a shit ton of money! Secondly I'd like to thank you for being so informative, these automotive shops prey on the uninformed like me.. Thanks for slicing into the overcharge these shops bring to the table.
I loved this video and it literally answered all of my questions!! Thank you
This guy is always helpful.good man!!!
My car has all the symptoms lol. I know I need to service it but money is tight, I’ll take care of this ASAP!!
MufasagoesViral TV Hurry Hurry!
Thanks so much! I was experiencing #2 and #3 and my 2003 dodge dakota was throwing a whole bunch of error codes, P1762, P1402, etc. And it was due low transmission fluid. Didn't even think to check the fluid level. Ended up doing a full flush which was very much needed since didn't know when it was last done since it was an inherited vehicle.
Same exact scenario
Valuable information in a short n quick video. Good job.
Not only did you help me out a huge deal, but the thumbnail looks like a killer mug shot bro! Great video thank you!
Thanks man this helped a lot now I know Exactly what is wrong with my trans
This was exactly what I needed to find. My cars check engine light has been on 99% of the time since I got it two years ago. And now I feel the engine grabbing when I shift from drive to neutral and there’s a loud clanking sound constantly. I don’t trust the mechanic I bought my car from or the garage I’ve been taking it to right across the street from my home. They laugh at me when I leave. The last time I asked what is the problem so we can plan ahead and all they say is they will take care of things one at a time.
Lmao I can’t believe they got away with screw-in you inside out for 2 yrs fam!!
Bruh they been scamming yo big Buford ass act like you know about the car next shop you take it to 😂
So what codes do you have? The check engine light tells you whats wrong with the car....read the codes!
@@fwash25 Are you so stoned that you cant grow up?? I'm laughing at your dumb ass !!
@@raxsedwin5571 Get off your drugs and grow up!!
Thank you. This was informative and straight to the point.
Thanks bud, helped me lots, car started revving like crazy on main roads, 4k rpms lol.
Super straight forward and clear. I appreciate this style of video!
Wow this was really helpful thank you 👍
1. Hard shifting, car jerks
2. Delayed shifting gears
3. Transmission slipping
When you accelerate and your car revs up but car not moving faster
4. Transmission overheating
Thanks, good video!!!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 good details very good information that alot of people don’t know about
Thanks dude. You could have saved me hundred of £. I’ll get this checked 1st thing tomorrow. 👍👍
left the store in my 05 gt mustang shifted me hard then i got up to speed & my engine reved hard but would not move... switched to 1, 2, 3 & the car would move i had to drive slow all the way home. put fluid in it now it drives great!
Having this problem rn, done a hell of alot of research and found out could and sparks could be off. And that clutch could be bad
My 02 mustang isn’t shifting right and I found out the fluid was low by almost a quart...topped it off and it’s a little better but still not right. Thinking about trying some Lucas stop slip now
Bro I’m having the same exact issue with my 05 V6 it started revving in Drive and had to put it into 3 to get home hoping it’s just the fluid
Holy crap you just described. Y entire problem with my 05
Thank you so much !! I have 3 out of 4 and hoping that's the only problem. Off to the garage!
Thank you so much! It helped me know what reasons for my car!
Thanks for this information. My car is kicking hard when it starts to move. I just needs transmission fluid in my car.
Did you get it changed ? Did it work ?
I have a land rover Lr3 hse v8 automatic transmission I have a F showing on dash board it says gears mode what does it mean please help thank you
Thanks for the heads up. May God bless you man
Simple and to the point. Thank you!
Bingo!!! You hit 2 out of 4 symptoms on my 2008 Volkswagen Jetta. (Low transmission fluid) thxs brother.
Thank you for the video. I have a jeep wrangler with automatic transmission that jolts really hard when slowing down and shifting to a low gear. How much lower on fluid does it have to be to start feeling the symptoms? Would a quart low cause it?
😱 this was really helpful I don't know much about cars. But now I see why my car is doing this. Thank You so much❤️💯🎂
Thanks for the great info. Advised mechanic how to check my transmission fluid, he refused says no way to check the fluid and needed a transmission service on a 2004 chevy Malibu. BS..... Thanks
to you I saved some money and did it myself 😁😁😁😁😁
Lmao I guess I need some transmission fluid then, literally everything he’s listed in the video is what I’m currently dealing with 🤦🏽♂️😂
I paid a lot replacing a computer box after a machenic advised it was my problem.. But problem still persistent, one machenic tried to make me buy a whole gear box from him.. Now i found this video..now i just gotta figure out how were tha hell i refill my transmission fluid
@@bryanlife3311 my mechanic told me my variable value timing is off
@@justinbrown9407 bro same my car is slipping gears I start driving off slowly and my car doesn't wanna go to the next gear it just revs up hard core and when it does shift it does it hard so hoping that's the only probably here in my case
@@juliodelgadillo8510 turns out that it was my camshaft sensors
@@justinbrown9407 u didn't need fluid?
Hey man ty I was having all this at same time all of a sudden and didn't know what it was 😁
Finally someone showed me the best how to vid yet thank you very much
Thanks for the straight to the point explanation
Thanks for this video. I have the jolting issue but only when the car shifts down from 2nd to 1st (it jolts me forward). Does fluid affect just a single gear change?
Dude your a life saver, thank you
Same here. I thank him a lot to. I have all 4 symptoms on my 07 Chevy equinox.
Thank you for this information 🙏🏽 I wish I had know this information before my car stopped.
Omg YES! you solved my problem 😭😭 thank you 🙏🏼
1. Hard Shift - Shifting gears, might jolt or jack the car back or forth.
2. Delayed Shifting - You feel your car shifts slowly into another gear.
3. Transmission Slipping - Gas pedal is pressed and engine revs and car won't move.
4. Transmission Overheating.
i have that problem with my Chrysler voyager
If it's REALLY low, it won't take off from a stop right away. The pump has to build the pressure to get it going. So if it hesitates from a stop, check your levels
Michael Hosburg Thank you so much. I am experiencing this at the moment but have no idea how to check the transmission fluid in a Nissan Note.
tiyang44 check your owners manual. Some newer cars have a sealed trans, and no dipstick.
Michael Hosburg Thanks for replying. Unfortunately the manual is in Japanese so I'm looking at the US version to have an idea.
my rig started doing that this morning on my way to work. I'm gonna stop by oriellys check my fluid lvs then fill it..
Thank you .. I love you man this really helped
That's good information, it adds to your general knowledge.
Very helpful thank you for a prospective review
I agree with - M below! Thanks so much for the helpful tips. I recognise two of those symptoms: a. the delay in entering Reverse or Drive, and b. the heavy *clunk* when the auto shifts gear while driving. But I also appreciated the wise advice to find out why my XC70 Volvo is low on transmission fluid. That sounds like this diagnosis/cure might be expensive. Any idea what those causes could be?
What year is your Volvo XC70? There are four issues that come to mind regarding the trans on the XC70 three of which have sullying that aren't all that bank breaking. Assuming of course you catch it and take care of the service/repair ASAP.
I had 3/4 of the symptoms. Thanks!
Gi'Andrea TheKing any updates ?

Thank you , I legit had these symptoms in the order you described but not to the overheating yet
Great video. My old beater was shifting a bit weird and taking awhile to get into gear. This morning it would not even move in reverse and crept on d. Checked my fluid and it didn’t even register on the stick. Had an old jeep that “needed and transmission” from seller… same issue. Added fluid and got another 50k out of it.
Those glasses were throwing me way off haha, some serious prescription glasses right there! Thanks for the quick symptom warning signs :)
Hehehe: why you point that out? I was alright til you said that lol. Great Simple information though

@@OctaneStreet lol
Mine said that my engine was overheating but the car had all of the other symptoms as well. Hopefully that's what my problem is because I just had a transmission control module put in last Friday and today it started showing those symptoms. Thanks for the insight!!

My truck is doing the first three. Thank you sir!
very good, you are straight forward to the point on the issue. instead of some videos, wasting time everything but talk less on issue in the end. Thumbs up for you..
