Warning Signs

1. Transmission Slipping
Does your vehicle feel like it’s shifting gears on its own? Slipping gears often indicate worn internal components or low transmission fluid.

2. Delayed Engagement
If there’s a delay when shifting into drive or reverse, it could mean your transmission is struggling to engage—often due to fluid or pressure issues.

3. Rough or Hard Shifting
Harsh or jerky gear changes are a sign that something isn’t right. This could point to worn clutches, faulty sensors, or low fluid levels.

4. Fluid Leaks
Transmission fluid is usually red and has a slightly sweet smell. If you notice spots under your car, it’s important to address leaks right away before they cause internal damage.

5. Burning Smell
An overheating transmission or old, degraded fluid can cause a noticeable burning odor. This can lead to major failure if left unaddressed.

6. Warning Lights
Your check engine light or transmission warning light may indicate a serious issue. Diagnostic scans help pinpoint the problem quickly and accurately.

7. Unusual Noises
Whining, clunking, or buzzing noises during shifting or acceleration could mean internal wear or imbalanced components.
