Common Signs of Transmission Problems
Slipping Gears
If your vehicle unexpectedly changes gears or struggles to stay in gear, it’s a sign of internal transmission issues or low fluid levels.
Delayed or Hard Shifting
If there’s a delay when shifting gears or the transition feels rough, you could be dealing with worn clutches, solenoid issues, or fluid problems.
Grinding or Shaking
Grinding noises or vibrations when shifting may indicate damaged gears, a faulty clutch, or internal transmission damage.
Burning Smell
Overheating due to low or contaminated transmission fluid can cause a burning odor.
Fluid Leaks
Transmission fluid is typically red or pink. If you notice fluid leaks under your car, it could be from a damaged seal, gasket, or fluid line.
Check Engine or Transmission Warning Light
Many modern vehicles have sensors that monitor the transmission. A warning light could indicate a fluid issue, overheating, or internal damage.
Lack of Response
If your vehicle hesitates or won’t move when shifting into gear, it’s a clear sign of a transmission problem that needs immediate attention.
