Alan Doherty | Owner

I started working at Everett Transmission the day I turned sixteen in 1974. I started as a remover and installer of transmissions. Soon I got involved in the tear down procedures and then the rebuilding of the units. I personally have rebuilt over 20,000 transmissions. I have been the owner of Everett Transmission since 1994. Transmissions are not a job to me, they have been in my life day and night for 42 years. My hobbies revolve mostly around mechanical things such as motorcycles, go fast boats, ski mobiles, dirt bikes, Corvettes, and Porsches.

Common Warning Signs Your Automatic Transmission Needs Repairs

by Everett Transmission & Auto Repair • 13 May 2026

A healthy automatic transmission enables smooth gear changes and efficient power delivery. But when something goes wrong, your transmission will often give warning signs before a major failure occurs. Recognizing these symptoms early can help you avoid costlier repairs. At Everett Transmission & Auto Repair, we provide expert automatic transmission repair in the greater Everett, MA area. Here are five common warning signs that your automatic transmission may need repairs. Slipping Gears One of the most noticeable signs of transmission trouble is slipping gears. This occurs when your vehicle unexpectedly changes gears or struggles to stay in the correct gear. You may notice the engine revving higher than usual without a corresponding increase in speed. Slipping can be caused by worn internal components or low transmission fluid and should be addressed promptly. Delayed or Rough Shifting If your vehicle hesitates when shifting from park to drive or between gears, you shouldn’t ignore the issue. Rough or jerky shifts are also a red flag. These symptoms may be caused by low fluid levels, a failing transmission solenoid, or internal wear. Smooth shifting is essential for proper performance, so any irregularities should not be ignored. Unusual Noises While Driving Automatic transmissions are designed to operate quietly. If you hear grinding, whining, or clunking noises, it may be a sign of internal damage or insufficient lubrication. These sounds often indicate that parts are wearing down and need immediate attention. Burning Smell A burning odor coming from your vehicle is often a sign that your transmission is overheating. This can happen when transmission fluid becomes old, contaminated, or too low. Overheating reduces the fluid’s ability to lubricate and cool the system, increasing the risk of serious damage. Transmission Fluid Leaks If you notice red or reddish-brown fluid under your vehicle, it could be a transmission fluid leak. A leak can lead to low fluid levels, causing overheating, poor shifting, and internal wear. Addressing leaks early can prevent more extensive repairs.
