The car will take off normally but will lag back and then rev back up and repeat this. Seems to only happen when the motor warms up. Thought it may be the transmission fluid being low considering the level is right on 'Add' your thoughts?

that's because you may have to take to a trans guy to get it done. It may have to be running an d a plug removed to add to it. ther emay not be a dipstick for it.
