Signs of a Transmission Issue

If you're not sure if your vehicle has bad transmission , find out some common indicators of transmission issues below:

Rough Shifting or Jerking

Experiencing a jolt during gear changes in your car, truck, or SUV? This could indicate low or deteriorated fluid, among other potential problems. 

Clunking or Whining Noise During Shifting

Hearing clunking, whining, or grinding noises when shifting gears can point to damaged internal components or issues with the transmission fluid. 

Slipping Gears or Engine Revving

Slipping gears, characterized by unexpected high engine revs, can lead to traction loss and are potentially hazardous. It's crucial to seek immediate repair if you encounter this issue. 

Difficulty in Shifting Gears

If your vehicle struggles to shift gears, it's important to have it inspected promptly to avoid exacerbating the problem. 

Check Engine Light / Transmission Warning

A check engine light or a transmission-specific warning (like 'Transmission malfunction, service now') on your dashboard can signal transmission troubles. The transmission light typically resembles a gear cog with an exclamation mark, though the symbol may vary based on the car's make and model. It could be something else with your engine but it's always important to check the tranmission.

Burning Smell

A burning odor from your vehicle, especially if it's transmission-related, might indicate overheating or other serious issues.

Leaking Red Fluid

Fresh transmission fluid is bright red, but it can darken over time to rusty-red, brown, or black. If you notice a puddle of fluid under your car, it's advisable to have it checked.
