Asked by Paul
My 2015 Isuzu MU-X transmission is slipping. When fully stopped and accelerating it has a lag and if you rev too hard on the throttle it will accelerate suddenly? Can you please help? Thanks.

29 Jan 2024This sounds like a case of low transmission fluid. Check the transmission dipstick according to the instructions in the owner's manual to see if the level is where it should be. Low fluid level can cause all sort of problems from slipping to a lack of drive to uneven shifts and shifts occurring when they shouldn't. Also, try to find out what fluid was put in the transmission when it was last serviced. The wrong type or grade of fluid can cause the same types of problems as not enough fluid.
If the fluid checks out, then you need to start looking at other causes such as glitches in the on-board computer that controls the driveline. An electronic scan of the vehicle would be the next step.
