Signs Your Transmission Needs Attention
Are you questioning if your transmission needs some TLC? Or maybe you are wondering what to look for to help catch early signs to prevent large damages. Here are some signs to look for:
- 1. Slipping Gears
If your car unexpectedly changes gears, has difficulty staying in gear, or slips out of gear while driving, it may indicate a transmission issue. You can be driving down the road, and it may slip to a lower gear, or you may find your RPMs rev up higher. - 2. Delayed or Rough Shifting
Delayed shifting, hesitation when changing gears, or rough, jerky movements when shifting can signal that the transmission needs service. If you feel like you need to visit a dentist to check your teeth after every time you are behind the wheel, it’s time to get your transmission checked. - 3. Unusual Noises
Grinding, whining, or clunking noises while the vehicle is in gear are signs of worn or damaged transmission parts. - 4. Warning Lights
If the check engine light or transmission temperature light comes on, it could mean the transmission is overheating or there’s a malfunction in the system. We know those lights are dreaded by every driver, but they can help keep you from big damages. - 5. Fluid Leaks
Puddles of red or brown transmission fluid under your car can indicate a leak, and if you are leaking fluids – your transmission can be in danger. - 6. Poor Acceleration
If your car struggles to accelerate or feels sluggish when you press the gas pedal, it may be a sign of transmission problems, especially if the engine RPMs increase without a corresponding increase in speed. - 7. Grinding When the Car is in Neutral
If you hear grinding noises when the car is in neutral, it’s best to get in to our mechanics to take a look. - 8. Shaking or Vibrations
You might find that your vehicle seems to be vibrating or shaking while driving, particularly at higher speeds. This can let you know that you have problems with the transmission or other drivetrain components. - 9. Strange Smells
Burnt smells, especially when the car is in gear, may suggest that the transmission fluid is overheating and breaking down. You definitely don’t want to smell a burning smell when you are driving – it’s a sign you need someone to immediately take a look at your car. - 10. Trouble Reversing
Difficulty shifting into reverse or strange noises when attempting to do so can point to transmission problems that need attention. Whether you go in reverse very often or not – you still want to have your reverse working!
