How Do I Know I Need Transmission Repair?

There are several warning signs that might indicate your car’s transmission needs attention. Here’s what to look for:

1. Unusual Noises: If you hear whining, clunking, or grinding noises, it could point to a transmission issue.
2. Gear Slipping: Your car unexpectedly shifts out of gear or struggles to stay in the right gear.
3. Delayed Shifting: If there’s a hesitation when shifting gears, whether from park to drive or while driving, it might signal trouble.
4. Transmission Fluid Leaks: Transmission fluid is typically red or brown. Any leak of this kind requires immediate inspection.
5. Burning Odor: An overheated transmission fluid often emits a burnt smell.
6. Dashboard Warning Light: The transmission warning light or check engine light may indicate an issue.
