Keep your car running smoothly by addressing transmission issues early.
The Role of the Transmission in Your Vehicle
Your car’s transmission is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels, ensuring smooth acceleration and optimal performance. A healthy transmission is essential for both manual and automatic vehicles to function properly.
Symptoms of Transmission Problems
Recognizing the warning signs of a failing transmission can save you from costly repairs down the road. Here are some common signs to watch out for:
- Slipping Gears: When your car unexpectedly changes gears or has trouble staying in gear, this is a sign of a problem.
- Delayed or Rough Shifting: A rough or delayed gear shift could be a sign of a transmission problem.
- Strange Noises: If you hear whining, clunking, or humming noises, it might indicate a transmission issue.
- Leaking Fluid: Leaking transmission fluid is a serious issue. If you see red or brown fluid, get it checked right away.
