I have topped the transmission oil. With top 1. In the east

kingreign:
Have you checked the transmission fluid?
Checked the transmission sump for impact?
Have you also scanned the transmission to know if there's a code stored in it?

If you're in Abuja, feel free to indicate so I can assist you on the diagnosis and repair.

Did you check the level before topping it?
Which ATF did you use to top it?

How's the drive now?

I checked it. It was low. Checked after it was gauged. there is no difference in the drive on the hill.

You've ended up killing that transmission probably. Your car requires SP iii or Sp iv ATF fluid.

@Mramechi, these cars rarely have transmission issues, if you put in the manufacturer recommended oil which is sp3 and you do not always drive like John travolta, then these cars will most likely not give you transmission issues.
Dexron 3 isn't Sp3, sp3 is designed for Hyundai/Kia/mitsubishi vehicles, dexron mostly for Fords, try doing a drain and refill with sp3 and see if the complaint is solved, if not, you might have ruined the transmission with a wrong fluid, probably what you did when you had to change the transmission in 2022, I use a 2009 model and just decided to change the oil back in 2022 and 2023, used Hardex sp3 transmission fluid, good luck.

There's a reason I don't want to argue with him, it'd because it's his car and he knows what to do at the end of the day, my only input is to advice and profer solutions, if anybody accepts, fine!
