Signs your transmission needs attention
A transmission problem rarely fixes itself. If you notice any of these, have it looked at sooner rather than later.
Slipping gears
The engine revs, but the vehicle doesn't respond the way it should.
Delayed or harsh shifts
A pause before the vehicle engages, or a hard jolt between gears.
Burning smell
Overheated transmission fluid gives off a distinct burnt odor.
Fluid leaks
Red or brown fluid under the vehicle is worth checking right away.
Check engine light
Shift-related fault codes can turn on the warning light.
Grinding or shaking
Unusual noise or vibration while shifting or accelerating.
Repair, rebuild, or replace?
Which one makes sense depends on what failed and the condition of the rest of the unit. We explain the options before any work begins.
Repair
Fixing a specific failed part, such as a solenoid, sensor, seal, or leak, when the rest of the transmission is in good shape.
Rebuild
Taking the transmission apart, inspecting every component, and replacing the parts that are worn or damaged.
Replace
Installing a remanufactured or replacement unit when the damage is too extensive to rebuild.
Common questions
How do I know if it's the transmission or something else?
Slipping and harsh shifting can also come from the engine, sensors, or low fluid. A proper diagnosis, including a fluid check, a scan for codes, and a road test, tells us where the problem actually is.
