Here's a Few Signs That Signal a Transmission Repair Is Needed
While some of these might seem commonplace, you’ll be surprised at how fast they can go from a simple quirk to heralding an automotive calamity. There are links that go further into how these signs appear and operate, but for now let’s take a quick survey:
The Check Engine Light Illuminates—An obvious sign that often goes overlooked, so when you see this, have a trained technician run a diagnostics test.
Unusual Noise—Your transmission is going to make noise as it begins to fail, which is cause for concern. Keep a look out for any grinding, banging, or rumbling as the gears change. When you encounter any of these sounds, it needs to be checked out.
Hard Shifting, or Gears Slipping—A manual transmission you’ll begin to see trouble when it becomes harder to change gears, or when the shifter pops out of gear. For automatic transmissions, you might experience a slipping of gears during driving.
Fluid Leaks—Anytime you find fluid leaking from beneath your car, or worse, staining the ground, it’s a good sign you need repair. Although it can be difficult to ascertain where the leak is coming from, it’s still good form to have the whole transmission checked.
Checking Transmission Fluid—Leading off the previous entry, you should manually check the transmission fluid. A healthy assessment is if it is a translucent bright red and has a syrupy thickness.
