Troubleshooting

Transmission shifting harshly or erratically

Fluid appears discolored or burnt

This may indicate extreme operating conditions or a need for a fluid change sooner than anticipated. Inspect the transmission for any underlying mechanical issues. Replace the fluid and monitor performance.
