* Transmission fluid level: Check the transmission fluid level regularly and add fluid as needed. The fluid level should be between the "full" and "add" marks on the dipstick.
* Transmission filter: The transmission filter should be replaced every 30,000 miles. A dirty filter can cause the transmission to shift hard or slip.
* Transmission bands: The transmission bands can be adjusted to improve the shift quality. The bands should be adjusted if the transmission is slipping or shifting hard.
If you are experiencing transmission problems, it is best to have a qualified mechanic diagnose and repair the problem.
