Signs Your Transmission Needs Service

The transmission is an important element of the powertrain system and helps your vehicle to shift gears when the engine revs at a higher rate. That’s why you’ll want to be able to recognize signs of transmission damage or wear, including some of the following:

• Difficulty Shifting Into or Stay in Gear: Most cars today have an automatic transmission, which means the car shifts on its own. Drivers will be able to tell if the vehicle is struggling to shift into or stay in gear by the ride comfort and acceleration. A vehicle in the wrong gear will feel sluggish and heavy, a clear indication that service is required.
• You Hear Noises: If you hear noises when your vehicle is in neutral or when you shift, that may mean you’re low on transmission fluid or the parts are rubbing together for another reason. This can cause lasting damage, so schedule service right away.
• You Smell Something Burning: Whenever you smell burning from your vehicle, you’ll want to pull over as soon as possible. It’s usually a sign that parts are rubbing or grinding, which can be unsafe and uncomfortable.
• You Notice Leaks: Your transmission relies on transmission fluid to work properly. If you notice transmission fluid leaks, that means the system isn’t properly cooled or lubricated. Our team will inspect the system for the root causes of the leak and fill up the fluid.
