What does the tranny fluid look like , is it brown and burnt smelling , is it at the proper level ? Do you even have a dip stick ? If there is a place to add it and you have a crappy old shop vac suck out the old crap and take a look at it , you don't want to see any metal , then add the same amount of new , the car ain't that old and the filters have a large area so they rarely clog ,
