quick question about transmission and fluid level...
What do you guys know about the level and when its too low making the tranny act up.
Ok, what I mean is if the fluid was like a quart and a half low would it make the tranny act up.
And acting up I mean when its that low and approching a highway at like 30 to 39 mph and flooring it and it revved and went to neutral instead.
So I checked the fluid and found that it was a quart and a half low so I filled it and little over hash marks and now the problem is gone.
So I guess my real question is; is this tipical?

yeah actually it seems that is the case because mine even did that when i changed my trans fluid, i underfilled it justa bit and it was slipping and was acting wierd and sorta did a neutral thing when i floored it...mine was about 2 qts under...i filled it and it has not worried me since and that was 9 months ago...so IMO it is probably just a safety measure built in so the trand cannot be damaged or something.
