Said I would have damage if I left it that way and removed three quarts. Started having transmission trouble. Turns out, they didn’t know how to check the level properly. After 4 trips back there they have the level back to where it should be but I drove about 200 miles with low fluid.

Why is my transmission fluid so low?
Transmission Slipping Problems. Poor synchronization between the vehicle and the engine could cause transmission slipping. This is when an engaged gear slips and as such, does not stay in the mode which it was selected. This and many more make driving on low transmission fluid, not advisable.

Crazy hard. That’s why we created the Rislone Transmission Stop Slip with Leak Repair. This transmission slip fluid contains a special blend of viscosity improvers, anti-wear friction modifiers and extreme pressure performance additives to solve most transmission problems.
What’s the difference between low and high gears?
Low gears are for low speeds; as the car gains speed, it uses higher gears. With manual transmissions you manipulate the gears using the clutch and gear shifter. You start in first gear, cycle up as you gain speed, and then back down as you slow.
