So, a good examination of the fluid level and its condition might be just what you need.
Transmission slipping should not be ignored because it’s a sign of problems that should be addressed immediately – including an overheating transmission caused by bad fluid. Reasons for the transmission slipping include things such as worn parts and gears, or a bad clutch, but these are not as common as just plain low or ineffective fluid.
Transmission slipping is another hint that the fluid is low and old. It’s been described as burning plastic or burned toast. If the transmission fluid is burning, you will notice a strong smell that is difficult to describe, but can’t be missed. Keep your transmission fluid clean and fresh and it most likely won’t burn. Either way, low or bad fluid can cause transmission heat, and transmission heat can burn the fluid – a vicious cycle that ends in transmission failure. Additionally, burned transmission fluid results from transmission heat – and transmission heat results from low fluid or old, ineffective fluid that needs to be changed. Transmission fluid wears out over time and can become contaminated with dirt and grit. Old, worn out, or burned fluid will leave you stuck at the side of that road, possibly with irreparable damage. Fresh, effective transmission fluid will get you many happy miles down the road. The color of the transmission fluid will tell you if it’s time for a change. Old, worn out, or burned fluid will cause the transmission to run hot.
