4 Signs That Say You Need Transmission Repair

4 Signs That Say You Need Transmission Repair

by Trans Works / Tuesday, 25 August 2015 / Published in Transmission

Find out too late your car’s transmission is shot? Don’t compromise your safety on the road. The next time you see any of these signs, take your car to the nearest auto shop and schedule it for transmission repair:

  • Burning SmellCheck under your hood for this. It could mean your transmission overheated. Either it’s low on fluid or the transmission fluid is already dirty and needs to be replaced. Both are easy to fix and won’t set you back too much.
  • Stiff ShiftsHaving a tough time shifting gears? Think changing gears doesn’t feel as smooth as it used to be? And does it come with clunking sounds all the time now? All those are strong signs you need to take your car in for a much-needed transmission repair session.
  • Delayed ReactionYou get in, start your car and start to pull out of your parking slot. Only problem is, your car won’t start. Not immediately, at least. It takes a long while for the gears to start working. And that’s really problematic. Not only because no one likes delays; it’s also not very safe. If you need to pull out of a slot, especially if you’re in a congested parking lot or street, you could get hit if your car doesn’t move out of the way fast enough.
  • Transmission LightIf you see your engine light up with the code for transmission trouble, that definitely means your car needs to go the shop for transmission repair.

To DIY or Not

Transmission troubles might seem like they involve nothing more than replacing the fluids or adding more. That sounds easy. And yes, there are definitely plenty of DIY videos out there to help you pull these off yourself. However, if you don’t have the proper experience, equipment or know-how, it would be better to simply ask professionals to handle it, especially if it involves repairing old parts or replacing them with new ones.

Think going DIY will save you on repair costs? Yes, if you have sufficient know-how and practical experience. But going into it blind, or just after watching a couple of videos on Youtube might not give you the expertise you need. You could end up doing far more harm to the system than good, which could cost you more—and give you bigger problems—in the future. So don’t skimp on repairs. Stay safe on the road by going for repairs at reliable auto shop centers like the Trans Works Transmission LLC.
