7 Signs of a Possible Transmission Problem

Here are 7 signs indicating you may well need transmission repair services.

1) Odd noises: Your transmission is making odd buzzing, clunking, whining, or humming noises.

2) A lack of response: Hesitation or the refusal to shift into the right gear is a sure sign of a transmission issue. The source of this problem could be electrical, mechanical, or hydraulic.

3) Gear grinding: Gear grinding is a frequent sign of a transmission problem, particularly in stick-shift vehicles, There are other possible causes for those grinding noises, but it’s best to take your vehicle to a trusted mechanic to determine the source of your problem.

4) A fluid leak: An adequate supply of transmission fluid is absolutely essential to keep your transmission operating properly. If you notice a pool of red, dark brown, or black fluid collecting under your vehicle, you need to take it to your mechanic immediately for repairs.

5) A burning smell: If you detect a burning, acrid smell, similar to burning rubber, that smell could well be telling you your old transmission fluid is overheating and needs to be replaced immediately. If you’re driving with a standard transmission, your transmission fluid should be changed every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. For an automatic transmission, the fluid should be changed every 60,000 to 100,00 miles.

6) Won’t go into gear at all: If your motor is turning over but your vehicle won’t move, that’s a pretty good sign you have a transmission issue that needs professional attention. The last thing you want is to be stuck in Chicago traffic in a vehicle that won’t go into gear and move, and the motorists behind you don’t want that either!

7) Check engine light is on: That warning light on your dashboard is connected to sensors throughout your vehicle, and if it comes on, please don’t ignore it. It could be telling you that you have a transmission issue that you’re not even aware of.
