Although no one would ever wish to have car trouble, at least we can say this: when your car is starting to have an issue that will require service, your car will generally tell you. There are simple ways to diagnose certain issues, and this is certainly true as it pertains to your transmission. So how can you know when your gearbox is having issues? Here are five signs of transmission trouble, from your friends here at EVS Auto Group.<\/span><\/p>\n

Five Signs of Transmission Trouble<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s Noisy During Shifts<\/h3>\n

As we mentioned, your car will sometimes make troubles known, and there are multiple examples of this. Your brakes will squeal when they\u2019re going out, or you\u2019ll hear hissing and sizzling from a radiator that\u2019s heating up. On the same token, your transmission will make a spinning, clicking or whining sounds as they try to shift, and these sounds let you know that transmission service may be in your future.<\/p>\n

\"GearIt Experiences Rough Shifting<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re driving a car with a traditional automatic transmission, then you\u2019ll feel the gears change as they shift up or down. This, of course, is by design. However, if the shifting is accompanied by jerks, grinding gears or jerky movements, you\u2019ll need to give your transmission the attention that it\u2019s asking for.

It Slips During Gear Changes<\/h3>\n

Sometimes, a driver will hit the gas to speed up, and it will feel as though the engine over-revs as it tries to upshift. This is known as \u201cslipping,\u201d and means that parts and components in the transmission have become worn down over time. Obviously, this means that your transmssion could use a look at one of our locations.<\/p>\n

There are Delays During Shifts<\/h3>\n

Say that you\u2019re getting ready to head to see <\/span>The Secret Life of Pets<\/span><\/i>, and you\u2019ve got all the kids in the car. They\u2019re so excited, chanting \u201cPopcorn! Popcorn! Popcorn!\u201d over and over again. But when you go to put your car in gear, nothing happens. You\u2019ve tried to shift into reverse, and your car is running, but it just feels like it\u2019s in neutral. It hesitates for several seconds, before finally engaging into gear. This is somewhat similar to slippage, and also needs immediate attention.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are Transmission Fluid Leaks<\/h3>\n

As you are certainly aware, a leak is never a good thing. Low transmission fluids are usually evidence of a leak somewhere along the transmission line, and generally indicates that more trouble is on the way. You may also see a small patch of pink fluid (as in the picture shown here) on your driveway, also signalling that there is a leak.
