Transmission Services

What Does The Transmission Do?

In simplest terms, it makes sure the appropriate amount of engine power goes to the wheels to drive at any speed.

A step further, it enables the gear ratio between the drive wheels and engine to adjust as the car slows down and speeds up.

What Are Signs Of A Failing Transmission?

1. Vehicle Not Switching Gears

If your vehicle does not or struggles to change gears, you may have transmission issues. 

2. Burning Smell

A burning smell can be several reasons other than your transmission. The key is to schedule an appointment as soon as you smell burning. If it is transmission related it could be that it is overheating or the fluid is old and is starting to burn.

3. Noises in Neutral

These noises can indicate serious transmission issues but could also just indicate that you are ready for a fluid change. So, don’t panic, schedule an appointment.

4. Slipping Gears

This is not easy to miss… When this happens your car will slip out of gear and you will hear your engine revving when the transmission is attempting to switch gears.

Other symptoms can include delay in acceleration and strange noises.

5. Dragging Clutch

This occurs when the clutch fails to disengage the disk from the flywheel when you press the clutch pedal.

6. Leaking Fluid

You will notice a red, sweet-smelling fluid underneath your car or on the ground. Schedule an appointment right away.

7. Check Engine Light

Your check engine light can indicate numerous issues that need attention. You should schedule an appointment immediately.

8. Grinding or Shaking

This is fairly easy to spot, as your vehicle switches gears you will hear a grinding noise or feel shaking. 

9. Unusual Sounds

Unusual sounds could mean a number of things and is reason to schedule an appointment right away. Some sounds alerting a transmission issue are clunking, whining, and humming noises.

10. Unresponsive

Well, this is about the easiest to spot… If you attempt to go from “park” to “drive”, or you are switching any gear and nothing happens, it is probably a transmission issue.
