If the fluid is dark and burnt smelling, you may need a transmission flush. The purpose of transmission fluid is to keep all the mechanical components of your vehicle running smoothly, so leaks can cause major problems and should be fixed quickly.
Grinding and shaking

Slipping or stiff gears
– If it is hard for you to maneuver between gears or when you are in gear and the transmission continuously slips back into natural it is definitely time to get your vehicle in for a checkup. If you drive an automatic and it takes a while for the gear to engage when you put it in drive or reverse, it is generally a transmission problem.
