Sometimes, despite best efforts at preventative maintenance, transmissions can fail or become damaged.
Common signs of a damaged transmission:
- Unusual Noises: Whining, clunking, or grinding sounds while the vehicle is in gear can indicate transmission issues.
- Slipping Gears: RPM spikes, delayed or rough shifting, or difficulty staying in gear can suggest transmission problems.
- Fluid Leaks: Red or brown puddles under the car may indicate a transmission fluid leak, which is essential for proper functioning.
- Warning Lights: The "Check Engine" light or specific transmission-related warning lights may illuminate on the dashboard.
- Burning Smell: A burnt odor, especially accompanied by smoke, may signal an overheating transmission.
- Poor Acceleration: Difficulty in accelerating or a lack of power can be a sign of transmission trouble.
- Sluggish Response: A delay between pressing the accelerator and the vehicle responding could indicate transmission issues.
- Fluid Contamination: Check the transmission fluid for unusual color or a burnt smell; healthy fluid is typically red or pink.
- Difficulty Engaging Gears: Problems getting the vehicle into gear, whether it's a manual or automatic transmission.

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.
