Regular Transmission Maintenance, most transmission problems do not require a new transmission.   Check the fluid: turn on your vehicle, make sure it is in park and that the engine has been running for a few minutes, open the hood and find the cap that has the fluid level dipstick attached to it. Pull out the dipstick completely and with a rag or napkin wipe all fluid off of the dipstick. Then reinsert the dipstick "completely" and pull it out again. That way you will get a more accurate reading. If your fluid is low check the owners manual or a website to find the transmission type that is designed for your vehicle.   Once you get the fluid you need "Be Very Careful to NOT Overfill" the transmission fluid! These days transmission fluid is sold in quarts but the dipstick is notched in pints, you may only need a half pint or pint. Transmission and their fluid levels were specifically designed to be precise in order for the transmission to work correctly and trouble free. Changing Transmission Fluid:   To insure the longest life and most reliability from your transmission a real mechanic, someone that is very familiar with today's amazing machines like transmissions will tell you to regularly take off the transmission pan, check and clean out the screen and replace the fluid. This is not the same as the fast lube transmission flushing where the screen is not checked and cannot be thoroughly cleaned and inspected. But a flush will include the flushing of the fluid in the torque converter and transmission cooler lines.
