Why do I have shifting problems with transmission fluid?
The bottom line is that leaking seal cause clutches and bands to wear, slip and generate excessive heat. That deteriorates the transmission fluid. So burnt transmission fluid is the EFFECT of leaking seals and shifting problems, not the cause. In other words, by the time you’ve got shifting issues, the damage has already been done.

Why are transmission discs slipping in a car?
If the clutch pack lip seal develops cracks, the discs inside will slip when they should be held solidly against one another. That slipping action causes the clutch discs to heat up and deteriorate. That extra heat further degrades the transmission fluid and the particles generated by the wear can clog cracks in the clutch piston lip seal.
What happens when the transmission fluid is too low?
The transmission fluid is too low or too old… Transmission fluid is needed to provide sufficient lubrication, in order to allow the process of shifting gears to occur smoothly. When the fluid level is too low or the fluid is too old, proper cooling and lubrication becomes difficult.
