In reply to Lucky. You'll have to determine the source of the leak, then replace the leaking seal. Seals are cheap to replace, but sometimes require a bit of labor.

In reply to Joyce Dawkins. Can you tell if you have a transmission fluid leak? Repair cost depends on how early you caught the issue, I think. Best case, it'll be pretty cheap to refill the transmission fluid (and patch whatever transmission leak they find while they're in there). Worst case, you might need a transmission rebuild or a new transmission.

My Pontiac Bonneville was snatching and hesitating changing gears after I had to stop at red lights! I checked the fluid while motor was hot and ran it through all gears then added 1guart of fluid! It was still not full but I drove it maybe 150 miles before it again started snatching and not wanting to change gears! The fluid also was down again. What does that sound like as far as repairing?

In reply to Elizabeth. You probably need to add transmission fluid and get the leak fixed.

No idea from just that description. You’ll have to get under the car and look at where the leak is coming from or hire a mechanic to do it. Check the transmission fluid level to make sure you aren’t low.

If you have hydraulic power steering, you should also check the power steering fluid reservoir. Many power steering systems use automatic transmission fluid (ATF).

I have a 2004 ford taurus. I just noticed a huge puddle of transmission fluid underneath my car. I didn’t notice any leaking like a week ago. My car is shifting fine. Would you happen to know where it sounds like it’s leaking from?

I’m having my f250, 5.8 cub 351/W
Rebuild, the mileage is 240k , I was told the torque converter should be replaced I removed it and the only seal is on the transmission shaft at the very back of casing. I do see a leak somewhere , how do you remove it or adding a seal on top .

In reply to Chiky. You'll probably have to look underneath the car or take it to a shop to find the source of the leak.
