My car which has 44,000 miles on it. When I go to start the car sometimes it won completley turn over, and when it does start, switching the gears from park to reverse, drive etc, its shifts hard. Could this be a transmission problem. Could it be low transmission or is the transmission gone. I really need to know. And I‘ve looked everywhere under my hood and I can‘t find the transmission fluid dipstick at all. Could it just be low transmission fluid causing the problems. Help!!! plz!!!
It could be. You will need to make sure there is enough fluid and there is no leak. There is a trans dipstick,despite what the previous commenter said. Id suggest googling an image of where to find it.
The kia DOES have a transmission dipstick. It's near the brake fluid behind the motor. Did you find out what was wrong with your car? Having the same problems.
Transmissions dont have dipsticks, you actually have to lift the car and take a transmission bolt out and check the fluid with your finger. It should be in your manual. Also to put fluid in it there a small nipple towards the top, its rubber just pop it off youll know what your looking for when you go to the store and see what the bottles look like.
