Transmission hesitates to go into second and third kicks hard when it does. Also, TOD light on and I cannot find dip stick to put fluid in. How do I fix these problems? I have extremely low income.

Hello,

If the engine has low vacuum to will cause the transmission to shift late and hard. The main cause for this condition is a plugged catalytic converter. The TOD light will be on as well becasue the computer sees that it is not going into overdrive.

Here is a guide that will help you confirm the problem.

Please let us know what you find.
