Your transmission is supposed to run smoothly without you noticing any sounds, grinding, or shaking inside the vehicle. If your vehicle is showing any of these signs, you should not dismiss it as it can be a bigger problem and it’s better to solve the problem early to avoid major damage.

If your transmission does not respond or takes time to respond when put in reverse or drive it could mean that the transmission fluids are thick and past their prime and, if left unattended, can cause thousands of dollars in damage down the road.

No matter the situation, your vehicle should never smell like there’s something burning. One of the burning smells could be the transmission fluids due to overheating. The fluid works as a coolant and greaser to keep those parts running and working properly. We recommend checking the fluid levels immediately or bring your vehicle to us for a check.

Gear slipping can be a serious safety hazard for you. This usually happens when you are trying to accelerate and your transmission simply goes out of gear. At times this might not seem like a big issue, but if the time comes when you need to move out of the way in an emergency maneuver and your car does not respond the right way, that’s when this can become a bigger problem.

This is one of the most feared and more annoying problems that a car can have. While a check engine light could mean anything from needing an oil change to pressure issues inside the engine; this light tends to be helpful. You can get a light for a lot of the problems that we previously mentioned but it’s always wise to pay attention to these signals to avoid major damage to your vehicle.
