Is it okay to be one liter short of transmission fluid?

It is not okay to be one liter short of transmission fluid. If the fluid level is low, it can affect the lubrication and cooling of the transmission, and in severe cases, it may even prevent the transmission from shifting gears. The transmission is a crucial component in a car, responsible for changing speed and torque. Without a transmission, a car cannot operate properly. There are three common types of automatic transmissions in cars: dual-clutch transmission (DCT), automatic transmission (AT), and continuously variable transmission (CVT). A dual-clutch transmission essentially adds an extra set of clutches and gear-shifting control mechanisms compared to a manual transmission. One set of clutches controls the odd-numbered gears, while the other set controls the even-numbered gears. CVT transmissions offer smoother gear shifts. AT transmissions are structurally complex but represent a mature and reliable automatic transmission technology.
