Symptoms of Transmission Problems

Whining and Clunking

This may see fairly obvious, but those are often the symptoms we ignore the most. When your car

starts making noises it shouldn’t be making, it’s time to get it checked out. You’ll probably hear a

humming or buzzing coming from your transmission. When this happens, don’t wait to bring it in.

Fix it as soon as possible before any further damage occurs.

Burning Smell

The smell of something burning is never a good sign when it’s coming from your car. The cause could

be any number of things, but it’s most commonly the overheating of the transmission fluid. Don’t panic

when this happens, just get it checked out as soon as possible.

Leaking Fluid

Fluid where it shouldn’t be is one of the easiest symptoms to spot. The best way to find where the leak

is coming from is to lay down a few pieces of cardboard when the car is parked. Then slide out the

pieces to to see just where your car is leaking. Be sure to share this information with the mechanic or

service professional when you take it in to be resolved.

Grinding Gears

This symptom manifests itself differently for manual and automatic transmissions. For manual

transmissions, when you change gears and you hear or feel a sense of grinding; it may mean that you

have just worn out the clutch and you need to replace it. But it can also mean that one of the

transmission’s synchronizers is worn out and damaged. For automatic transmissions, a rough shift

rather than an unnoticeable one could be caused by a few things. Take it into a professional to diagnose.

Noisy in Neutral

A bumping sound doesn’t necessarily evoke signs of caution or trouble, unless it happens when your car

is in neutral. Don’t worry though; this problem can sometimes be easily fixed by replacing the

transmission fluid. If however, you continue to hear noises coming from your transmission while it’s in

neutral, take it in to see what’s up.

Dashboard Lights

“SERVICE ENGINE SOON.” Aren’t those the last words you want to see when you get into your car? This

sign on your dashboard could mean all sorts of things and should definitely not be ignored. There are

sensors placed throughout your car’s engine that can pick up the slightest of problems. Don’t

procrastinate when you see this, get your car inspected as soon as you can.
