The Signs Your Transmission Is Having Problems Include:
- Leaking Fluid: If you want to verify you have a transmission leak and it isn’t condensation from your A/C system, park your car in a clean area for 24 hours. Move your car and check for any signs of drips or puddles. If the fluid is a red color, that typically means you have a transmission leak. Your transmission fluid is what lubricates and cools the parts. Low fluid can result in overheating and components to grind and wear down.
- Check Engine Light: Your vehicle’s engine light is an indicator that your vehicle isn’t at its optimal performance. It could be something minor like a camshaft failure or it could be a transmission problem. When your check engine light appears, contact Ruggless Auto Service for an engine diagnostic test to quickly identify the problem before it gets worse.
- Grinding or Shaking: If your vehicle experienced a grinding or shaking feeling as you increase or decrease in speed, that means that your transmission is having a problem while shifting gears – a key indicator that you need transmission repair.
- Unusual Sounds: If your transmission is functioning properly, you shouldn’t hear any noise. If you start to hear a humming or whining noise, that is an indicator of a transmission issue. At first, the noise will go in and out, but over time, it will become more prevalent and consistent. The quicker you address the issue, the better it is for you, your vehicle, and your wallet.
- Not Shifting Into Gear: Cars should easily shift into gear, when your transmission hesitates or has trouble engaging “park” or “drive”, there is a problem with your transmission.
