Causes:
Low Transmission Fluid: Insufficient fluid can lead to friction and overheating of the transmission components.
Driving in Stop-and-Go Traffic: Prolonged idling o r driving in heavy traffic can cause excessive heat build-up in the transmission, especially in hot climates like Pakistan.
Faulty Coolant: Transmission coolers o r radiators might be blocked o r malfunctioning, leading to poor heat dissipation.

Solution:

Ensure the correct fluid level and quality.
Regularly inspect the transmission cooler and flush the system if needed.
Replace the fluid according to the manufacturer’s specifications and consider upgrading to high-performance fluid for hotter climates.
