The transmission is crucial for your car's performance and safety. If it deteriorates, you may observe your vehicle having difficulty driving properly, which can create risky situations for you and others on the road. Here are 4 signs that your vehicle is in need of a transmission repair:
1️⃣ Hearing any noise in your drivetrain could indicate internal transmission part failure or other issues. It might also be a sign that it's time to change your transmission oil or even replace the entire transmission.
2️⃣ Having trouble shifting gears or experiencing slips while driving could be a sign of low or incorrect transmission fluid.
3️⃣ Spotting fluid leaks is a clear indicator your transmission needs fixing. Transmission fluid is red and has a sweet smell, so it’s pretty easy to spot under your car or on your driveway.
4️⃣ If your car shakes or vibrates when you change gears, it’s a sign something’s off with your transmission. Any weird vibrations should send you straight to the mechanic, as they could point to a serious issue with your transmission or engine.
