I need to move my shark that i began restoring (interior) but i know it lost problably almost the auto transmission oil. The car will move only a few feet , back and forward and the engine will turn around 15 minutes , is there any danger for my transmission ?
P.S. ( i know i should take care of that leak first
but i'm not ready to do the mechanics yet )
Thanx

i made a mistake : it lost almost ALL of the auto transmission oil

why not fill the trans to the proper level before attempting to move the car?

Automatic transmissions actually uses the fluid to transmit power to the wheels. I doubt you will be able to even move the car without it.

If you only have to move it a short distance, buy a twelve-pack of beer and invite neighbors to help you push it. Wish I was there...I'd push for a beer.

T_Max - That's a good idea, I think when I switch to synthetic I will head off to Home Depot for one of those.

I bought (at GI Joes) a pump that fits in a regular quart size container.

I was using the minny oil can the PO provided, what a mess.

Automatic transmissions use fluid and a pump to generate hydraulic pressure to tighten a brake band on a planetary gear set drum . They do not tolerate slipping so trying to drive without enough fluid is a very bad idea .

Thank's a lot my precious and helpfull friends , i will considerate all your advices , i did'nt want to put trans oil back for nothing because i will loose it all again after the moving of the car, so i will probably go for the beer ! (lol)
