A/T Oil Temp light came on. Ran fine. Next day transmission went into limp mode. Fluid was very low but found some metal shavings in pan. Fill up fluid and hope? Or junk her?

A/T Oil temp light came on while drivinng up hill. Stopped and let it cool, ran fine. Next day transmission slipped while going up hill. The fluid was checked and it was very low, but found some metal in the pan. Is it worth the $300 to fill it up and hope? Or should I just look for a new car? I cannot afford a new transmission.

SOURCE: engine turns over fine , car will not start.

well the first part of your question i was all ready to tell you to put a new fuel pump in, now not so sure, there is a relay for fuel pump, can you hear pump cycle and relay click? relay under hood you will have to listen close they don't run long maybe a couple secounds, if you don't relay bad. if you do pump could be bad, do fuel pressure test pump could be weak. don't think sunroof and turn signals are related, but stranger things have happend.

SOURCE: automatic transmission keeps losing fluid newly installed

Sounds like it might be leaking through the Torque Converter seal. Easy fix...just sucks having to take the tranny out again.

SOURCE: How to check and fill the transmission fluid on a

You will need a medium-sized funnel.
(Might be a good time to use the one in the kitchen and get a new one for the kitchen).

Also, auto supply stores have a special funnel with a foot of hose attached to it... I generally don't buy/use that, but just wanted you to know about it.

The transmission dipstick tube is where you add transmission fluid, using a funnel. In a pinch, you can use a "modified" paper cup from Whataburger (or whatever).

I'm sure you know to check the transmission fluid level in PARK with a warmed-up engine idling (on level ground)..

Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome to the site. I would advise you to have your transmission checked as soon as you can. You might need to check your fluid and change your transmission filter first to see if that helps. But, more then likely, your transmission will need worked on since it slipped. That may be just the beginning.

Transmission over temp light comes on. transmission works fine but once went into limp mode
have a pressure test done on the box to check for internal faults. Any high pressure leaks will cause heat. check the filter and while the pan is off adjust the bands and clutch packs . Check the radiator cores are not blocked as engine temperature will affect the transmission oil temperature . check oil level as extra oil will cause frothing and over heating.

Transmission whines then stops working after a few minutes of operation. fuild level is fine.
Drop your transmission oil and check for metal shavings, if minimal remove the pan and replace your transmission filter and fluid. Sounds like a plugged filter causing low pressure.

While i was doing off road driving a warnning light (a/t oil temp) turn on, i looked underneath the car and i found oil leak drop after drop, not too sure now should I change the transmition oil and filter...
Change the transmission fluid and filter. The light says fluid temp. is high, so you may have some burnt fluid-deadly for transmissions. Drop the trans. pan and look for metal shavings-too much will indicate failure of transmission parts. If not too much, you may be alright with fluid and filter change.
Stop the leak,. make sure it is trans. fluid, not motor oil. If motor oil, stop the leak and change oil and filter. I would do the transmission regardless, since the light came on.

Oil pressure drops, metal shavings, and somehow my oil level incr
My truck does the same thing, pressure never drops to 0 but drops low, replaced the oil pressure sensor and same thing happened. My oil is always black and has a lot of metal in it, next time you change your oil, pour a quart of transmission fluid into the oil and let it run for 10 minutes or so, this should thin out the oil and possibly unclog some of the ports that may be gummed up. What could have happened with the dipstick is that the old oil was too nasty to drain all the way, with the fresh oil it could have thinned out and raised the level, try the transmission fluid trick and see what happens, next possibility is to have the engine scoped to see whats going on inside

Number one cause of this is bad transmission fluid.
So far, 7 times out of 8, fluid change has fixed a problem exactly like yours.

The A604 transmission uses ATF+3 or ATF+4 ONLY...do NOT trust 'some other ATF + additives' or anything like it, you will end up regretting it.

ATF+3 and ATF+4 are trademarks, so cannot be used without meeting the spec. I've had good luck (and best prices) with Wal-Marts Supertech brand (cheapest ATF+4 I've found)

You'll need 5.5 quarts to do a standard fluid change (doesn't empty out the torque converter). System capacity is 9.5 quarts, but you'll need quite a bit more than that to do a full flush. When you're done, and have refilled the tranny, start the engine, wait 10 or 20 seconds, keep your foot on the brake, put the van in drive for 10 or 20 seconds, back in park, then check the fluid again.

Generally, doing a change, driving another couple hundred miles, and changing it again works very well.

You'll have to drop the entire transmission pan to change the filter, you'll want to do that to check for excessive metal shavings and such anyway. Don't forget to remove the old O-ring from the filter connection, and don't forget to put the new one on. There's no drain plug on the tranny pan, so have a big catchpan handy, and expect to have to do some careful prying to get the old gasket to break loose. (the bolts are 10MM by the way)

The second time you change the fluid, it's simpler to use some aquarium tubing down the Trans fluid fill tube as a siphon. Takes pretty much overnight to empty the pan this way, but easier and safer than dropping the pan, and you actually get a little more old fluid out.

Do the same fill, start, brake/drive, recheck as above.

How to change transmission oil
You can have the fluid exchanged at a oil change store. That flush new fluid in transmission only. The proper way is to remove transmission pan to change the filter and to clean the magnet cake with metal shaving. (This can be a mess when you first release pan to drain the fluid) The next you need remove RTV from pan mating surface,then reseal it with RTV or a gasket. Then fill transmission with fluid
