Tranny problems

Tranny problems
I'm trying to get some help for my 99 4runner. I noticed that my auto tranny was slipping. When I pulled over to check it, it died and I can't start it. Is their some sort of safety switch that prevents me from starting the 4runner until the tranny is addressed? If its a matter of low fluid, how do I know how much to add if I can't start it? Any ideas would be appreciated. Nick

I'm no mechanic so take the following w/ a grain of salt. I first would start w/ checking my tranny fluid if you really think this is the reason that your truck won't start. There is a line, which shows what level your tranny fluid should be when cold. If it's low according to the line, add fluid.
