The Common Signs of Transmission Troubles
If you own or operate a particular vehicle, you undoubtedly know how it works and drives. If you’ve driven it for a while and accumulated miles with it, you’ll likely notice transmission problems. Pay attention to the signs of transmission issues, and get it inspected as soon as possible.
When to Get Your Transmission Inspected
If you notice one or more of the following, get your transmission checked out ASAP:
- Slipping Gears – Slipping happens when your transmission fails to shift smoothly. This can cause it to fall out of its gear while shifting.
- Odd Odors – If you smell a burning or mechanical smell while driving, it could be caused by low transmission fluids. Low fluids can cause friction in your transmission.
- Problems With Accelerating – Is your vehicle failing to speed up, no matter how hard you press the acceleration pedal? If so, you may have a transmission issue.
- Leaking Fluids – Transmission fluid leaks may seem like a small issue. But if they’re allowed to linger, they can worsen and cause long-term or permanent damage.
- Check Engine Light – Like fluids, your check engine light is easy to ignore. But if it flashes on, heed it, because it might be signaling a transmission problem.
Our Multi-Point Transmission Inspection
A good auto transmission shop will provide a comprehensive transmission check, accounting for every detail and concern, both big and small. We achieve this by providing a multi-point inspection that enables us to uncover and accurately diagnose transmission issues. Its three essential steps include the following:
- Initial Inspection – We’ll look at your fluid levels, transfer case, and differential fluids to see if they’re low or if they might have other issues.
- Road Test – Then, it’s time to hit the road with your vehicle. Some of the things we’ll assess include its drive ranges, upshift and downshift timing and quality, passing gears, torque converter clutch, and 4×4.
- In-Shop Final Inspection – After we’re done with the road test, we’ll bring your vehicle back to the shop to check out its shift linkage, engine idle, mounts, final drive, fluid retention, and beyond.
