Your transmission shouldn't need additional fluid unless it's leaking or if it wasn't filled properly the last time it was serviced. Make sure you check it carefully and properly before adding fluid...too much fluid can be as harmful to the transmission as running it low. Also, remember that when adding fluid, a little bit goes a long way...
