Warning Signs to Watch For

Our certified technicians will accurately diagnose the problem and advise you of the best repair option, offering honest practices, fair prices, and a generous extended warranty on transmission work.
Signs Your Transmission May Need Repairing
While you may not be confident in your ability to repair your vehicle's transmission, there are some tell-tale signs you can observe that point to the need to bring your auto to us for attention. The first indicator might be an illuminated dashboard light. A check engine light can mean many things--some simple, some complex. If the light is on, have us check it out for you. Whatever the issue--transmission or otherwise--we can correct it for you. If you hear odd noises, you could possibly have a transmission issue. Such sounds include whining, humming, or clunking. You may also notice new unusual feelings as your car goes through the gears such as grinding or shaking. Further, you may feel as if the car is doing nothing--literally. Perhaps there is a delay when you press the accelerator with the car in gear or the auto doesn't want to change gears. You may also feel slipping gears. This occurs when the transmission moves between gears or goes into/out of gear on its own, and it can be very dangerous. Also, you may notice a dragging clutch in a manual car, meaning that the clutch doesn't disengage when it should. If you detected a burning odor, have the transmission checked. It could be overheating and burning the fluid, particularly if the fluid is old. Finally, if you notice a reddish colored fluid puddling underneath your car, it is likely leaking transmission fluid. You'll want to alert your mechanic to the possibility of a transmission fluid leak.
