Got a question for you all.

How far can you drive without transmission fluid before damage is done to the transmission?

Took out 2002 chevy venture in yesterday...had the oil changed, tune up, serpentine belt changed, and the transmission fluid changed. Got it back around 2:30 and have driven about 60 miles since then. It starts acting up today and hubby checked the fluid at 6 and it is almost bone dry.

Guess they forgot to put fluid back in Frown I am taking it back in the morning but now am worried about long term effects to the transmission. It's almost paid off and have had no major problems with it.

thanks in advance.

i wouldnt worry about ur transimission, i would try to get them for letting you drive off like that. what ever damage is done to your car, they should compensate. if they refuse get a lawyer

Re: driving without transmission fluid Sign In
make sure you bring your hubby and just ask em to fil it up again.

should be ok. just for doing that have them fill it, drive it, drain it, and fill it again (3x). Demand them to do that because it will get the little medal pieces of gear out. If they refuse tell them your husband saw medal slivers when he checked. Don't be alarmed. should be fine.

Car wouldn't drive at all if way too low and off the stick readings may happen with just over a pint too low. Driving with it way too low could cause damage. Most cars will handle a pint up or down with no problem but of course you want it right, T
