Low Lubricant Level

Insufficient transaxle lubricant is usually the result of leaks, or inaccurate fluid level check or refill method. Vehicle must be level to accurately check fluid level.  Leakage is evident by the presence of oil around the leak point. If leakage is not evident, the condition is probably the result of an underfill.

If air-powered lubrication equipment is used to fill a transaxle, be sure the equipment is properly calibrated. Equipment out of calibration can lead to an under fill condition.
