Signs Your Transmission Needs Service

Transmission problems often start small but can escalate fast if ignored. Here’s what to watch for:

Delayed or Hard Shifting

Slow gear engagement or rough shifting often signals worn components or fluid breakdown.

Slipping Gears

If your vehicle unexpectedly slips out of gear or feels like it’s struggling to stay in gear, service is needed.

Leaking Transmission Fluid

Reddish or brown fluid under the vehicle is a sign of a leak and a major warning flag.

Grinding or Shaking While Driving

Unusual vibrations or noises during shifting may mean internal wear or failing mounts.

Burning Smell or Overheating

Low or old fluid can cause excessive heat and odor — a warning that immediate attention is needed.

Check Engine or Transmission Warning Light

Modern vehicles monitor transmission function. Lights on your dash can indicate serious internal issues.
