How do I know if my transmission is going bad or im just low on fluid..on a 2000 Mercury Mystique

Asked by Charlie May 23, 2016 at 04:47 AM about the 2000 Mercury Mystique 4 Dr LS Sedan

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I know my fluid is low and the place to replenish is hard to get to, but the car hesitates on hills..sometime when I first start up it will idle, then grab when I give itgas to pull out of my driveway, but after it warms up it seems ok, until I get caught in traffic and I can smell a burning odor

I did check the dipstick....so I'm going to try and put the proper level of fluid in...I'm lucky though, because I don't drive very often..it only turned 100,000 miles recently, Thank you for the advice, quick question..you said don't spend the money on a gasket is the gasket the replacement that you reffered to?
