The fluid is not being pump thru the transmission and pools at the bottom of the pan. The reason it shows full when you first full it out while it is running is because you have not wiped it from when it was off. You need to drive for about 30 minutes to warm the fluid up and then pull the stick and wipe and then check your level. A transmission can run and not slip if it is missing some fluid but it is not safe to do. If it is not showing on the stick pour about a half a pint in and check it again. If you have not had it flushed or changed in over 30,000 miles you should take it in and have it done. Transmission fluid needs to be changed like your engine oil.</p></blockquote><p></p>
