Signs You Need Transmission Repair

Transmission issues don’t always happen all at once. Many vehicles show warning signs before a major issue happens. You may have delayed shifting, rough gear changes, a burning smell, red fluid beneath your car, or a “humming”/”clunking” sound while driving.

Some drivers also notice that their engine revs higher than usual before the vehicle actual changes gears. Others may feel their car struggle when accelerating or moving from park into drive. These signs can be hard to ignore, especially when you use your vehicle daily.

Bringing your vehicle in early gives our team a chance to diagnose the issue before it gets worse. We will let you know what we find, what repairs may be needed, and what can wait.

Is It Time to Replace Your Transmission?

As one of the most valuable parts of your vehicle, your transmission needs to be fully functional or you could end up stranded by the side of the road. Keep an eye out for signs such as:

  • Issues shifting gears
  • Drivability problems
  • Strange noises while shifting gears
  • Smell of burning transmission fluid
  • Leaking fluid

These issues indicate that you might need something more substantial than a simple transmission repair; it might be time to replace your transmission. Using the latest technology available, our mechanics will do a thorough inspection before recommending the best course of action for your vehicle. 

Tips for Maintaining Your Transmission

Maintaining your transmission can help you avoid costly repairs or even a complete breakdown. Here are a few tips:

  • Check the fluid – Check the level of transmission fluid every few months, and make sure it looks clean. If the fluid is discolored or has a burnt smell, bring it in to be checked.
  • Schedule regular maintenance – Have your car serviced every 12,000 to 24,000 miles. This will help prevent transmission trouble down the line.
  • Driving habits – Avoid slamming on the brakes or going from reverse to drive too quickly, as this can cause damage to the transmission.
  • Monitor temperature – Make sure your engine is kept cool, as this is essential for a healthy transmission.

It is important to take the necessary steps to properly maintain your transmission. By taking precautionary measures such as checking your fluid levels, scheduling regular maintenance, and paying attention to your driving habits, you can help prevent transmission problems from arising in the future. Taking care of your transmission now can save you from costly repairs and breakdowns down the line.
