Signs Your Transmission May Need Repair

Promptly addressing any issues you notice with your transmission is a good practice; with proper care and maintenance, a transmission can last for a long time before needing replacement. Because transmissions are one of the more expensive auto fixes out there, it's in your best interest to keep yours in good working order for as long as possible. Be on the lookout for these possible warning signs:

Problems Shifting Gears: If your vehicle hesitates or jerks when you put it in gear, falls out of gear when you're driving, or shifts gears for no apparent reason, it could be a sign of transmission trouble. Call our specialists right away.

Unusual Gear Shifts: If you notice a grinding sound or a shaking/shimmying motion when shifting gears, it could be a sign of a worn clutch or another transmission issue. Our experts will be able to tell you for certain.

Cloudy or Burnt Transmission Fluid: Transmission fluid is generally bright red in color and a sweet smell. If yours appears dark and opaque, or smells and looks burnt, then it's a sign of trouble in your transmission. Bring it to us as soon as possible.

Leaking Transmission Fluid: If you notice red fluid on your driveway, no matter what color it is, bring it to our auto repair shop. A leak in and of itself is not necessarily a warning sign, but it will certainly cause damage if it's allowed to continue.

Unusual Noises/Whines: Vehicles with transmission troubles begin producing unusual noises, like whining, clinks, or buzzes. They will also sound excessively noisy when in neutral gear. If you notice these issues, bring your vehicle in for us to examine. It might not be a transmission issue, but it's certainly worth investigating.

Burning Odor: If you notice a hot, burning smell when you exit your vehicle, it could be a sign that your transmission is going bad and your gears are overheating due to excessive friction. Bring your vehicle to us for transmission repair.
