Signs of Transmission Issues in Concord
Recognizing the early warning signs of transmission problems is crucial to avoid more severe damage and costly repairs.
If you notice any of these symptoms, it's important to act quickly:
- Slipping Gears: If your transmission unexpectedly shifts gears or struggles to stay in gear, it could indicate a serious issue that requires immediate attention.
- Delayed Shifting: If there's a noticeable delay when shifting from park to drive or reverse, it may suggest issues with the transmission fluid or internal components.
- Unusual Noises: Grinding, whining, or clunking sounds could signal transmission problems or issues with other drivetrain components.
- Warning Lights: A flashing check engine light or transmission temperature warning light can be a clear indication that your transmission needs professional attention.
- Fluid Leaks: If you notice red or brown fluid spots under your vehicle, it may point to a transmission fluid leak, which can lead to overheating and further damage if left untreated.
If you experience any of these symptoms, it's important to schedule a transmission inspection as soon as possible to prevent more extensive damage.

FAQs
-
Q. "What factors determine the price of transmission repair?"Many different factors go into determining costs of transmission repair. The major factor is what type of vehicle you drive. The year, make and model of the car, determine how much parts and labor will cost. Another factor is how much damage the transmission has sustained. Your transmission should last a minimum of 100,000 miles by servicing your transmission on a regular basis.
-
Q. "What does automatic transmission service include?"Fluid is first drained from the pan during an automatic transmission service. A new transmission filter is installed with a new pan gasket once the pan has been removed. Finally, fresh automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is used to refill the vehicle.
-
Q. "Is there a difference between a transmission fluid change and flush?"During a transmission fluid and filter change, it’s only the fluid in the pan that is drained and replaced with new ATF. Four to five quarts of fluid will typically be replaced in this process, while nine to thirteen quarts are replaced during a full transmission fluid flush. The difference in amounts is because the complete flush drains the entire system.
