Thread: Automatic transmission problem 1998 saturn SL2?

ok so it was about a month ago my transmission was shifting hard. my car has 109,000 miles. i decided to change the fluid and filter since it has an external filter it was pretty easy. Now my car shifts much better but i get a whining noise right at the end of the first 2 gears. and it only does it when my car is cold once its warm it goes away.i had a hard time seeing the fluid on the dipstick but i think i have the correct level. is any of this consistent with not enough or to little fluid? and if not what else could it be?

I think if i overfilled i would have blown a seal by now though.

Please Help me!!!

Take a good look at it again and make sure that you didn't knock something aloose , aslo you could have gotten some air in the transmission line's and until all the air works itself out you might hear that sound. They make this stuff called SEA FORM that really works great. All you have to do is pour it into the transmission then drive it until the tranny gets hot,.There no need to remove it from the tranny.
