3 Signs That Your Transmission is Breaking Down

3 Signs That Your Transmission is Breaking Down

by Trans Works / Tuesday, 27 October 2015 / Published in Transmission

An automatic transmission break down can be a scary thought. The repair and rebuilding process is never cheap, meaning you could be looking at both a lighter wallet and lengthy time without a vehicle. While this can be stressful, it is important to realize that solving the problem quickly can be a much cheaper solution than attempting to go on with a faulty transmission.

Let’s take a look at three signs that your transmission is breaking down so you can make sure that you get to an expert as soon as possible for repairs:

Transmission Overheating

If you happen to catch a burning smell in your vehicle, there is a good chance that it has something to do with your transmission. This happens often in vehicles in which oil and transmission fluid is not added on a regular basis. To prevent this issue, be sure that you are filling up and changing your oil and transmission fluid according to the recommendations provided by your mechanic.

Obnoxious Sound While in Neutral

If your vehicle is having obnoxious noises when you are in neutral, there is a very good chance that there is something wrong. In most cases, this is once again an issue that can be prevented by adding transmission fluid and oil to your vehicle on a regular basis.

Fluid is Leaking

If your transmission fluid seems to be continuously leaking onto your garage or driveway, this is a telltale sign that something needs to be taken care of. You should check your fluid to make sure that it is not producing a burning smell as it should instead have a bit of a sweet smell to it. The best option for this problem is to immediately contact a transmission expert or mechanic to prevent further damage.

The Final Word

No matter what type of issue you might suspect in your automatic transmission, it is never a bad idea to get in touch with a trusted transmission expert to confirm that everything is running smoothly. Getting to the issue early can ensure that you will not have to have your transmission completely rebuilt, which can save you a huge chunk of change. Experts like Trans Works can give you reliable information about whether or not repair work needs to be done.

Trans Works specializes in helping vehicle owners with their automatic transmission needs. Give them a call to set up an appointment and make sure your transmission is in tip top shape.
