I checked it with the engine running and with it off. What would happen if I add to much? I might just add more and see what happens. As I said, I know I loss some but the stick still shows I have plenty.

I added another quart today to see if that would change anything. No luck.

I have a 1994 chevrolet cavalier z24. I have had 3 transmissions put into my car since January, 2015. I am still having the same problem 3 months later. The transmission is slipping when I put the car from park into drive. It goes into neutral. Can this be caused by the inside gear shifter if the shifter is not connected properly to the transmission? Please help me. It is costing a small fortune for my mechanic to figure out this problem!! Thank you so much. 9 Answers
