Last night I drained ATF on my dad's 2003 Altima, and thoufht I had put in as much as I had drained out. Took the car for a little test drive around the block (all under 20 mph and four stop-and-go's )the tranny shifted rougher than before. so I checked the ATF level and it was one quart low!
Toped it up and drove around the block again and it started to shift normally.
Have I inflicted some damage this way? I mean something that will creep out later?
Please let me know if it ever happened to you I am really worried.
The tranny shifts better now but I think when shifting from 2nd-3rd the rpms kinda fluctuate a bit (didn't have that before)no jerk thogh like it had before shifting from 1st-2nd, have I damaged something??
P.S.
The old ATF was dark even though it was in service for only 4000 km, the car has had four drain/refills with Motomaster (store brand bottled by Shell I think/hope) Dexron III.
The new ATF is Valvoline DexIII the new H-spec.
