Why You Need Transmission Service

Transmission services are critical to vehicle performance because they keep all the many gears moving smoothly. The gears in the transmission are powered by the flywheel on the engine. The transmission moves between the different gear sets, depending on whether you’re increasing speed or slowing down. The common term for this process is “shifting gears.” Vehicles with an automatic transmission have this gear change happen automatically at various speeds. With a manual transmission, the driver shifts gears with a clutch. If the transmission stops working, you can go anywhere.

The fluid in the transmission keeps everything lubricated and moving smoothly. When the fluid gets older, it stops being as effective. If you get a fluid leak, the gears won’t operate as easily, which will cause more extensive repairs.

How to Tell When Your Transmission Needs Serviced

You can check your owner’s manual for recommended timelines on transmission service. It varies by type of transmission and model. If you notice certain symptoms of problems with your transmission, you need to schedule service right away. These symptoms include:

• Car shakes no matter your speed.
• You hear a slipping or grinding when you accelerate.
• There is a delay between shifting gears.
• The transmission fluid looks cloudy, thick, or has an odor when you check the dipstick.
• You notice a burning smell under the hood.
• You see a reddish fluid leaking from the vehicle.
• You have a hard time moving the manual transmission gear shifter or you can’t get it into gear at all.

If you notice any of these issues, you can schedule service online or call us to set up an appointment. Don’t delay; set up your appointment right away to avoid more major problems, such as rebuilding the transmission.
