Common Problems, Repairs, and Warning Signs

A proper diagnosis for your vehicle is required before doing any work. We can share some of the more common transmission problems and repairs. For example, a common issue is actually a fluid concern. If the automatic transmission fluid level is too low, the unit cannot function as it should. Likewise, the fluid can’t do its job if it’s dirty, burned, or contaminated with debris or metal shavings. The transmission fluid’s purpose is to lubricate the moving parts and keep the unit cool, so its importance should not be underestimated. Other potential transmission problems can include broken gears or leaking seals. How will you know if there’s a problem? If the underlying cause is electrical, the check engine light may illuminate as an early warning sign. Also, you may notice a burning odor if you have the wrong fluid or if the lubricant is burning. Furthermore, you may experience slipping gears (where you auto changes gears without warning on its own). Perhaps you’ll notice a delay between pressing the accelerator and your auto’s ability to move. Finally, you might hear grinding as your car shifts gears or whining as you drive. Our experienced team is happy to discuss the various transmission repair options with you, which are or are not appropriate for your vehicle’s particular problem. Remedies can include simple solutions such as transmission fluid exchange, intermediate options like a transmission rebuild, or something as complex as a complete unit swap.
