We’ll get you on the road again.
Signs Your Vehicle’s Transmission Is Beginning to Fail
Most vehicle owners are familiar with how their car or truck runs. As the miles begin to add up, you may notice a dip in performance. Ignoring the common warning signs that your transmission is starting to fail can lead to more costly repairs down the road.
The Warning Signs You Might Need Transmission Repair
The older your vehicle is, the more likely – and frequent – repairs will become. While we hope you never have to deal with a transmission repair, you might have to rely on our experts. Understanding the warning signs of transmission failure is critical so you can act quickly. If you are noticing the following, bring your vehicle to us. There’s no harm in a diagnostic check:
- Gears Slipping: Gear slipping occurs when your transmission cannot shift smoothly. If you notice gear slipping while you drive, there might be a problem. The best thing you can do is bring your vehicle to us for an official inspection.
- Burning Smell: Transmissions rely on lubricant to reduce friction and wear and tear. Burning smells could mean something as minor as low fluid levels or something more serious. Whether you require a small fix or a major replacement, we can help.
- Delayed Acceleration. If your vehicle doesn’t accelerate or does so more slowly than it used to, your transmission might not provide the right torque to the wheels. While this isn’t necessarily a major problem, you should never ignore it.
- Fluid Leak: Transmission fluid leaks aren’t a major repair on their own, but ignoring them is a recipe for disaster. Leaks can get worse and impact other elements of the transmission, so take care of this minor repair before it becomes a major one.
- Check Engine Light: We perform free check engine light inspections. Sometimes, the issue is electrical or could be a minor issue with the engine. But this indicator light could save you thousands if it is transmission-related and you are proactive.
How Our Diagnostic Process Works
So, you require transmission repairs. What’s next? Our detailed and comprehensive multi-point inspection ensures we identify every problem in your transmission so we can fix the issue the first time around. Our diagnostic examinations are technology-aided for accuracy and occur in three distinct areas:
- Initial Evaluation: First, we inspect your transmission fluid levels, the transfer case, and the differential fluid. Sometimes, all that is wrong is a fluid leak, making this step essential.
- Road Test: We will drive your car once we finish the initial inspection. We’re evaluating drive ranges, upshift and downshift timing and quality, passing gears, and more.
- In-Shop: Now that we have finished the road test, we have finished diagnostics in our shop. We’ll check the shift linkage, engine idle status, mounts, fluid retention, and more.
