What Does a Transmission Do?: While your engine’s job is to produce horsepower, it’s your transmission’s job to dole that power out to your wheels. As you step on the gas, your transmission shifts through different gears. This will either increase or decrease your torque as you speed up and slow down. When your transmission is working properly, your car should feel smooth and responsive.
What Is Transmission Fluid?: Your transmission relies on transmission fluid, but over time this fluid can become contaminated. If needed, our mechanics can swap your transmission fluid out for a fresh batch.
What Are Signs of a Failing Transmission?
If your transmission is starting to fail, then you may run into the symptoms below.
Bad Transmission Fluid: If something is wrong with your transmission, then there’s a good chance that your transmission fluid is contaminated. When you test it with your dipstick, you should check if the fluid is cloudy or thick. It may also give off a bad smell.
Evaluate Your Handling: Does your transmission slip or grind when you change gears? If you drive a manual, is it hard to move your gear shifter? A bad transmission will usually make itself known through your handling. If your car is shaking when you drive, or there’s a delay when you go to switch gears, you know that something isn’t quite right.
Check for Fluids: Your transmission fluid should be staying near your transmission. If your car is leaking fluid, then you’ll want to get a professional opinion immediately.
A Burning Smell: If it smells like something is burning, then you should avoid running your vehicle and visit the mechanic as soon as possible.
