Your vehicle’s transmission is the most essential system for your car to function properly and for you to drive safely. Most vehicles these days have an automatic transmission meaning that the vehicle shifts gears automatically without you having to shift them manually. This automatic process is very efficient in helping you shift gears at the moment you need them to shift. Transmissions are very complex and are constantly functioning in order for your car to properly operate. As with most things, overuse can cause them to wear down. Needing to repair or replace your transmission is an expensive endeavor, often costing more than $1,000 to repair. The best and most surefire way to prevent needing transmission repair is to maintain your vehicle well and drive in a manner that doesn’t overuse the transmission.

Warning Signs that you need Transmission Repair.

There are several signs that will warn you that you’re having a transmission issue. To help you identify them, we’ve listed a few of them here:

  • Leaking Fluid : If you notice some fluid leaking from your vehicle or spots underneath your vehicle after being parked, you may have a transmission problem.
  • Burning Smell: A burning smell could be a sign that your transmission is overheating. If you notice such an odor, you should get your vehicle checked immediately.
  • Delay in Transmission Shift: As you accelerate or decelerate, if you notice that your vehicle takes more time than usual to make the shift in gears, you may have an underlying problem and it would be well advised to consult your local auto repair shop.
  • Vehicle Unable to Stay in Gear: If you’ve set your vehicle to drive, but it doesn’t move or it takes it time to get moving, this is a clear sign of transmission issues.
  • Check Engine Light: You should get your vehicle serviced if the check engine light comes on because a transmission problem often causes this light to show up on your dashboard.

While all of these may be a sign that something is wrong with your transmission, there could be a different problem occurring. Before you start stressing yourself out, take your vehicle to your local transmission repair shop to have the vehicle looked at.
