Signs of Transmission Trouble

Recognizing issues with your transmission early on can help prevent unnecessary and costly repairs down the road. Here are some common signs that might indicate you have transmission trouble:

• Difficulty Shifting Gears: If you experience hesitation or resistance while shifting, it can indicate worn or damaged components within the transmission.
• Grinding or Shaking: A grinding sensation or shaking when shifting can be a sign of internal transmission wear.
• Slipping Gears: If your vehicle slips out of gear unexpectedly, it could be due to low transmission fluid or even worn down parts.
• Transmission Failing to Engage: When the transmission does not engage, the vehicle may not respond when you press on the accelerator.
• Warning Lights: Dashboard lights like the check engine light can be triggered by transmission issues.

If you experience any of these symptoms, bring your vehicle in and have it inspected as soon as possible by a specialist.
