Hi sumit.solanki.2007,

If the fluid level is correct, there is nothing much that you can do except to rebuild or replace the transmission as it is faulty.

When making replies, please use the "Reply to Question" link below so that notificatio would be sent to me and I can reply as soon as I am online.

Autozobe provides free scanning services. Get a scan done and let me know the exact trouble code for the Check Engine Light showing. This might be the cause for the transmission problem as well, so it should be rectified first. All engine trouble codes takes precedence over otheres.

For $1500, I would say that is a good price and I doubt you would get anything cheaper.
