Re: 2006 Saturn relay 3.5
Looks like your transmission's clutch pack is worn out. When you drain the old oil, the friction materials from the worn out clutch pack that has been floating around is now removed, therefore not enough friction material to hold power. It is recommended to service the transmission often with good oil such as AMSOIL ATF to prevent such wear from happening in the first place. But when it is worn out it is too late for an oil to fix it. Replied by Tech Admin
