i have an 97 corolla that keeps losing tranny fluid, i can tell when it starts to shift hard, so i check the level. when i find its low i toped it off with the corect fluid and went on my way. about a month later it started doing the same thing again and checked the level and was low again.. being a new car this concerned me to find the reasion why its losing tranny fluid. no leaks are on the ground at all and the dealer verrifified that it wasnt leaking. then discovered that the engine oil was about 3 qts too high and the tranny was 3 qts low. how is this happening? the dealer pawned it off on me saying i must have drained the tranny oil and topped off the motor oil causing these levels to be off. im not a dumbass i know where a drain plug is and i would have noticed it was red fluid if that was the case. the dealer is going to test the motor oil to see if there is any tranny fluid in it at my cost if it comes back negative. in short how is my car loosing tranny fluid and gainging motor oil?
