What causes a transmission to shift hard AMSOIL?
Common Fixes for a Transmission that Shifts Hard 1 • Low fluid level 2 • Depleted fluid frictional properties 3 • Poor cold-temperature fluidity More …
Why does my transmission get stuck in 2nd gear?
This is often times a sign of low transmission fluid or a faulty transmission control solenoid. As you know, automatic transmissions use pressurized hydraulic fluid to change gears.
How is hydraulic fluid used to change gears?
As you know, automatic transmissions use pressurized hydraulic fluid to change gears. Every time a gear change is required, the car’s computer activates a transmission solenoid, which directs transmission fluid into the valve body to engage the correct gear.
What does the light blue line on AMSOIL transmission fluid mean?
The dark blue line represents the frictional properties of new AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid. The light blue line shows the frictional properties of the same fluid after more than 180,000 miles in taxi cabs operating in the intense heat of Las Vegas.

Can a transmission leak cause a transmission Shudder?
The transmission fluid can also be checked at this time. It’s not just contaminated transmission fluid that can cause transmission shudder; it can also happen if you have a leak in your transmission and the fluid has gone too low as well.
Can you use automatic transmission fluid in a manual transmission?
As you may have figured out, automatic transmission fluid can, in some cases, work fine in manual transmissions. You don’t have to be an engineer to know that an automatic transmission is far more complex than a manual.
