Car starts but wont drive

Car starts but wont drive I had my drive axle replaced but not the seal. Which soon leaked bad. So I have now replaced that to. It nolonger leaks. I added a qt of fluid after putting car back together drove few blocks (like a mile) then it stopped so I added second. It drove 4 more blocks and same thing. The car starts runs and will even drive. But only briefly. I can drive 2-4 blocks maybe before the car nolonger accelerates/ moves. Once this happens the car most times loses all gears sometimes only some. Do u have any idea what I'm against?

Hey, Ondreya. If you’re continuously having to add more fluid you likely still have a substantial leak that will need to be repaired. Continuing to drive the car with low transmission fluid will damage the internal components of the transmission. Check for additional leaks, repair them as necessary and then check your fluid level. Although it depends on the year, most if not all 2008-2015 Cruzes don’t have a dipstick. You’ll need to use the check plug on the side of the transmission, in the past I’ve had to remove the driver’s side wheel. Bring the car to operating temperature before you check the fluid level and make sure the car is on a level surface. Be sure not to overfill the transmission or you could do serious damage to the vehicle. Hope this helps. Good luck with your repairs!
