Also check the condition of the oil, and in particular that there is no white contamination caused by contact with the coolant from the oil cooling circuit, and that there are no metal particles due to wear of internal components or a burnt smell.

WARNINGS
– If the oil level is low, there may be a reduction in the line pressure owing to the fact that the oil pump draws in air, resulting in malfunctioning of the transmission.
– If the oil level is higher than normal, there may be oil leaks from the vent pipe.
– Contamination of the oil with water or the use of an oil with different characteristics from the recommended oil causes higher consumption and malfunction of the transmission.
