Common Problems Related to a Failing Transmission<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

There are many signs and symptoms that indicate a faulty or defective transmission, from whining, clunking, humming to slipping gears, dragging clutch, grinding, shaking, and more. However, the most common and detectable indications that your transmission is failing include burning smells, gear slipping issues, fluid leaks, and an illuminated check engine light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burn Smells<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you smell something burning when you drive your car? This could be the transmission fluid burning up, which also means your transmission is overheating. So, if this is happening to you, it is likely due to low transmission fluid levels or very dirty transmission fluid content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gear Problems<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your car is refusing to go into gear, slipping gears, or a combination of both, you can safely assume it has to do with the problem within your transmission. If your cars refusing to go into gear, the most common causes are low or thickened transmission fluid, or because your shift cables or clutch linkage needs readjusting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fluid Leaks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your transmission fluid plays a vital role in the overall operation and safety of your vehicle. As mentioned earlier, if you transmission fluids are low, your car will begin to show signs of trouble. If you have a leak in your transmission, then it is not capable of maintaining the proper fluid levels required to properly lubricate the inner workings of your transmission and engine. So, if you notice puddles of liquid underneath your car after it\u2019s been sitting for a while, it could be a transmission leak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Illuminated Check Engine Light<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can think you are check engine light for a number of warnings. On the other hand, it can be quite frustrating trying to figure out why your check engine light is on since there are so many reasons it could be. But if your check engine light does come on, it could very well be your transmission. Be sure to take it into an automotive mechanic to have it diagnosed before any further damages done to your vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
