Signs Your Automatic Transmission Needs Repairs
Say you’ve been driving around and you’ve noticed some issues with the way your car is driving. Do the gears seem to have trouble shifting? Does something feel off when you put it in drive? Those are typically the first sign of trouble with your transmission. Keep an eye out for these signs as well:
-
Gear slipping – If you can feel the gears slipping, that’s a problem. What exactly is slipping? If you’ve noticed your vehicle changing gears for no apparent reason with the engine producing odd noises, it’s likely the result of gear slipping. Other warning signs include your vehicle feeling as if it’s underpowered or isn’t properly accelerating.
-
Rough shifting – Any time your vehicle seems to refuse to change gears as it usually would or the individual shifts seem rough or grinding, it’s a telltale sign you’re experiencing transmission issues. You may also hear—or even feel—a rough clunking when the vehicle shifts into a different gear.
-
Delaying of engagement – Say you’re shifting your vehicle from “park” to “drive,” you gently depress the accelerator, but you don’t move and the engine begins to rev before eventually shifting into “drive.” That pause in between the full shifting process is known as delayed engagement.
-
Leaking transmission fluid – A transmission is fully sealed, meaning that there’s no reason for a leak unless there’s a larger issue present. If you’ve noticed consistent leakage from your vehicle, put down some paper towel or cardboard box to determine whether it’s transmission fluid. The fluid is typically a bright red colour, though it can also be dark red or brown.
-
Transmission warning light – Just as with the “check engine” light, any time your transmission indicator lights up on your dash—particularly if any of the above issues are occurring—you need to bring your vehicle into Alberta Transmission Service for repairs.
