Common Signs of Transmission Problems
Drivers who spot signs of transmission problems early can reduce the cost of expensive repairs or having to replace the system completely. You might notice one or more of these early indicators of transmission trouble.
Check engine light – The check engine light can indicate a range of issues, many focused on the hundreds of sensors that provide information about your vehicle. Even if you have noticed other signs of transmission problems, this could be an early sign.
Transmission fluid leaking – Red or pink fluid in your driveway or parking spot could be a sign that your transmission needs attention. Monitor transmission fluid levels over a few days and get in for service soon.
Noise while shifting – Unusual sounds from the transmission like clunks, humming or grinding are sure signs that it’s time for an in-depth transmission diagnostics test.
Slow shifting – Some automatics with transmission trouble may not shift into the right gear – or may not shift at all. Get in for service immediately; this can cause lasting damage to your transmission and the rest of the engine.
Spotting the early signs of transmission problems can save you time and money – if you aren’t sure if something is wrong, get in and have it looked at.
