Signs of a Failing Transmission

Slipping Gears

A lot of customers have no idea what a slipping gear feels like. Imagine trying to accelerate on a sheet of ice. Your wheels will spin, your RPMs will climb, but you won't go anywhere. That's exactly what a slipping gear feels like. You'll accelerate, but your vehicle won't match the RPM range.

Hard Shifts

If your vehicle jerks going from one gear to the next, it's an issue with your transmission. It could be dirty fluid, a clutch issue, or low fluid. If your car jerks between gears, it's important to schedule an inspection with transmission experts near Manchester.

Delayed Shifting

If there is a delay in action when going from park to drive or vice-versa, that's a sign that you're experiencing a delayed shift. Taking a step further, if your vehicle remains in neutral when you attempt to switch gears, you're experiencing a critical failure in your system.

Fluid Leaks

If there is a transmission leak, the fluid will appear towards the front of your vehicle. Look for a pink, red, or brown fluid after you park. If you notice this fluid on the ground, then you likely have a leak somewhere in your system. Contact our service center near Dunbarton to have your vehicle diagnosed.

Distinct, Rancid Smell

If you experience a pungent smell from inside your cabin, the culprit is a faulty transmission. The aroma is similar to burnt eggs or burnt toast, and you can usually smell it through your AC vents, near the front wheels, or under the hood.

Check Engine Light

An illuminated check engine light won't always signal a faulty transmission. Still, if you experience any of the aforementioned signs, plus an illuminated check engine light, then it's a fairly good guess. But you don't have to depend on guesswork. Schedule your free check engine diagnostic and get to the root of the problem.
