Can low transmission fluid cause clutch slipping?
If your transmission fluid is old, contaminated, and/or too low, it will speed up that wear on tear on your gears. In manual transmissions, the main clutch is essential in this role. If either of these parts have become too worn, they can cause your transmission to start slipping.
How do you know if your automatic clutch is bad?
If you step on the gas and your transmission spins without forward movement, you have a problem that needs attention right away. Your automatic transmission has a clutch, too, and spinning is a sign that the clutch is going bad. Naturally, this is also a sign of a bad clutch in a manual transmission.
Can a slipping transmission be adjusted?
In the case of transmission slipping due to minor problems, such as low fluid levels, ineffective or burnt fluid, or a leak in the transmission, you may be able to fix the problem yourself. As such, you should expect to pay a mechanic to inspect and repair the transmission.
How long should an automatic clutch last?

Why is my Subaru Forester transmission chirping?
When the oil change was done at 40,000KM a small oil leak was found on the transmission cover and housing at the gasket joint. Very slight oil seepage. There’s a loud chirp sound from the front of car when transmission goes into reverse and brakes still applied. Dealer far away.
Why does my Subaru clutch pack keep slipping?
When an automatic transmission’s clutch packs slip, it is because the friction between the clutch plates cannot hold the applied torque. This situation can occur if the line pressure is not high enough, or if the wrong transmission fluid is used, or if the clutch packs are too worn out.
