Your car’s transmission is easily its most complicated component. Weighing in at over 800 individual pieces, your transmission is as intricate as it is important. But how will you know if your transmission is in trouble? There are a few dead giveaways that you have transmission issues, and at the first sign of one, you need to get your car to us.
Your Check Engine Light Is On
Your transmission is far from the only thing that can cause your check engine light to activate, but it is certainly one of them. If your check engine light is on, you need to get your car to us regardless, but it is one of the ways your transmission can alert you to potential problems.
Slipping Or Grinding
When you speed up your vehicle, your transmission is working its hardest. As your transmission switches gears, it should be a smooth possess. If you feel grinding of your gears as they attempt to change, or if your gears seem to slip out of place when changing, this is a clear indicator that there are problems with your transmission. Even if these seem slight or minor, transmission problems escalate over time and won’t go away on their own. Let us take a look!
Red Or Brown Fluid
If you see red or brown fluid pooling under your car, say, in your garage, then you definitely have a transmission problem on your hands. This is transmission fluid, and isn’t supposed to leave you transmission. A leak indicates that there is something seriously wrong, so let our team take a look!
