What Are the Warning Signs for Transmission Problems?

Aside from the most obvious indicator (the blinking transmission light on your dashboard array), certain sights and sounds could be warning you that your transmission needs service.

Grinding

If your gears make a grinding noise when changing, it’s a sure sign things are not going smoothly and it’s time to have your transmission checked.

Hesitation

If there is a momentary delay between shifting and gear change, that is also an indication your transmission is failing.

Smell

Just as with the engine, an acrid, burning odor is a clear warning that something is wrong. Have your vehicle checked immediately.

Seepage

Keep an eye on your garage floor or driveway. When oily stains appear, it’s a telling sign that fluids are leaking from your vehicle. If they’re of a red or green tinge, it could be transmission fluid.
