Even when transmission trouble seems minor, it’s important to bring it to the mechanic’s attention ASAP. This is because transmission issues are notorious for badly worsening in a hurry. When you’re proactive about getting to the shop, there’s a better chance that the issue can be addressed before it becomes extremely expensive to fix. At Willie Automotive & Towing Service, our local mechanics are experts at accurately diagnosing transmission issues. Then once the problem has been identified, we’ll work efficiently to repair it so you can get your car back ASAP.
An obvious sign of a transmission problem is that your vehicle won’t go into, or stay in, particular gears. If your vehicle is popping out of gear while you’re driving, it poses a significant safety concern because you don’t have full control over your car’s patterns of acceleration. This issue could be occurring due to a problem related to transmission fluid. Pollutants in transmission fluid can cause fluid pressure to drop to the point that the vehicle doesn’t stay in gear. You might be able to resolve the problem by getting a transmission flush, but it’s also possible that more complicated repairs will need to be done.
You might notice a sign of transmission trouble when checking your transmission fluid, which generally needs to be done while the car is still running. If the reading on the transmission dipstick shows that the fluid is worryingly low, then you may have a leak. Another potential sign of a transmission fluid leak is that there’s reddish-colored fluid accumulating on the ground beneath your vehicle. To prevent expensive problems from arising, transmission fluid leaks should be promptly fixed. Signs that your transmission fluid is getting dangerously low include rough shifting and delayed shifting. And if your transmission fluid has turned darker in color or is emitting a burning odor, then it’ll be best to have the mechanic identify the underlying issue.
If you drive a manual transmission, you’ll want to be aware of certain symptoms of trouble. A clutch master cylinder problem could make it hard to put your car into gear. Grinding could mean that your clutch is failing, but you may be able to remedy this issue by just getting a clutch adjustment. A clutch problem could also make itself known with a sticky or spongy clutch pedal.
