Answer:

Transmission fluid is a fluid that lubes all of the gears and plates inside of your transmission. Your transmission is actually made up of lots of gears, bearings, seals and pumps. Without the fluid, the gears grind and rub together causing slippage. If you can't feel your car change gears or it wont move then you need transmission fluid. The bad thing is after you drive without it, you have very little time to fill it before your complete transmission is trashed.
