I checked the stick and it showed that it had some in there


there should be a line or lines for the fluid to touch

if the fluid is not touching the line you're too low.

reference your owners manual for the proper checking of trans fluid [ warm or cold levels ] to be sure

I have a monte carlo ss pace car(I'm about to sell) that'll slip for about 5 seconds 10-15 minutes into the drive and won't do it again. The computer diagnosis at auto zone said it was the shift solenoid.
Had them changed in my pickup once also. About $160

Just something to think about....if your trans cooler lines are/were leaking then most likely something caused that. Usually dumb arse quick lube places doing trans flushes and not tightening , cross threading , or not having the o ring back on before reconnecting line. If you recently had the fluid changed , that would be my first stop. Other than that , maybe not today or tomorrow but you're looking at replacing the tranny. Also , are you sure it wasn't supposed to have Mercon V?
