Signs of a Bad Transmission

Not quite sure if it's a transmission issue with your car or not? Here are a few tell-tale signs that could be related to transmission problems.

Rough Shifting/Jerking

If your car, truck, or SUV gives you a jolt when changing gear, this could be a sign of low fluid or fluid that needs replacing as well as other possible issues. 

Clunking or Whining Noise When shifting

A clunking, whining, or grinding noise from the transmission could be a sign of damaged internal components, and/or bad/low fluid in the system. 

Slipping Gears/ Engine Revving

Slipping gears can be scary as you hear the engine rev high when you're not expecting it, and this can also cause a loss of traction. Slipping gears can be dangerous, and it's highly recommended that you get your vehicle in for repair asap if this is happening. 

Doesn't Shift Gears

If your car refuses to shift gears, it's definitely worth getting an inspection done, so don't wait too long, before it becomes too late and the damage is worse. 

Check Engine Light / Transmission Light

A check engine (also known as CEL) or a warning message (such as 'Transmission malfunction, service now) on the dash may alert you to an issue with the transmission. The transmission light looks like a jagged circle (gear cog) with an exclamation mark on the inside, however, the symbol could be different depending on the year and model of the car. Some vehicles have a symbol that looks like a spanner, or an engine.

Burning Smell

There's never anything good about a burning smell coming from your car. When it's transmission-related, it could be an overheating issue, or something else.

Leaking Red Fluid

Transmission fluid when it's new is a bright red color, however, if it's older fluid the color could be somewhere between red, a rusty-red, brown, and black. Check on the ground underneath where your vehicle is parked and if you see a puddle of fluid, you might want to get it looked at.
