That statement is 100% correct.

Yeah, I have trashed enough of them, all by abuse on my part. It is a sickening feeling when the car won't pull it's own weight, shifts erratically or starts freewheeling or locking up.

I got my oil changed the other day and assumed that they checked it. Looking back now I can see it was an erroneous assumption.

It has been a while since I had anything that leaked, but it is a good idea to stick you finger in the spot on the driveway/floor and take a look. Smell it, rub it around on your finger to see what it is. Seriously. Usually, trans fluid is red.

If you were only down two quarts, you are probably ok, but it isn't good. Just guessing, but counting converter, that thing probably has around 9 quarts.

Almost all Transmissions have internal filters the size and shape of a small ipad. It's really not that difficult to do but sometimes when you do a flush instead of just adding fluid, the gears lose anything to really bite down on. It's complicated shit.

As far as cost is concerned, it'll run you 100 bucks or so unless she's shot.
If she is shot, we'll be able to pick on you for BLOWING A TRANNY.

but you need to find out what is actually leaking, a service isn't going to fix any leak other than if its the pan.

just a guess but I would bet its a cooler hose.

80% chance of either a cooler line or solenoid. Sauto is right on the money as always.

you gotta check it when it's hot for a correct reading...do it when you are filling up your tank.

I did. On level ground. While shifting slowly through the gears. While pinching my nipples. Whilest eating a chili dog and taking ecstasy. (Enjoying the open thread)
