Slipping Gears<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2650\" data-end=\"2751\">If engine RPM rises but vehicle speed does not increase proportionally, the transmission is slipping.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2753\" data-end=\"2775\">This can be caused by:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2777\" data-end=\"2873\">\n<li data-start=\"2777\" data-end=\"2798\">\n<p data-start=\"2779\" data-end=\"2798\">worn clutch packs<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2799\" data-end=\"2829\">\n<p data-start=\"2801\" data-end=\"2829\">damaged friction materials<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2830\" data-end=\"2857\">\n<p data-start=\"2832\" data-end=\"2857\">hydraulic pressure loss<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2858\" data-end=\"2873\">\n<p data-start=\"2860\" data-end=\"2873\">overheating<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2875\" data-end=\"2938\">Gear slipping is not a minor issue.

Burnt Smell or Dark Fluid<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2979\" data-end=\"3032\">Healthy automatic transmission fluid (ATF) should be:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"3034\" data-end=\"3105\">\n<li
