SLIPPING

The term “slipping” refers to when the transmission seems to stay between gears when shifting. Slips often occur when the transmission fluid level is lower than recommended. The same problem can happen because of incorrect oil pressure from the result of using old, burnt, or contaminated fluid.
An incorrectly calibrated transmission module can also cause a transmission to slip from time to time. Driving with a slipping transmission will cause permanent damage to the internal components. If the fluid level is right and the transmission software is up-to-date, the transmission may need to be replaced.
