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.

Your vehicle’s transmission fluid plays a crucial role in keeping the transmission system running smoothly. It lubricates moving parts, cools the system, and enables proper gear shifting. When the fluid becomes contaminated, however, it can no longer perform these vital functions effectively. Ignoring the warning signs of bad transmission fluid can lead to serious damage and costly repairs. At Everett Transmission & Auto Repair, we can expertly address problems related to transmission fluid. Here are five signs that your transmission fluid may be contaminated. Dark or Dirty Fluid Fresh transmission fluid is typically bright red. Over time, it can darken as it accumulates dirt and debris from normal wear. If the fluid appears brown or black and murky when checked with the dipstick, it’s a strong indication of contamination. Dirty fluid can cause friction, overheating, and premature wear on internal components, so it’s important to have it flushed and replaced as soon as possible. Burnt Smell Transmission fluid that gives off a burnt odor is another clear warning sign of trouble. This smell often indicates that the fluid has been exposed to excessive heat, breaking down its lubricating properties. Without proper lubrication, the transmission’s internal parts can grind against each other, leading to serious mechanical issues. Slipping Gears When transmission fluid becomes contaminated or degraded, it can lose the ability to create the hydraulic pressure needed for proper gear engagement. This can cause the transmission to slip out of gear or hesitate when shifting. You might feel the engine rev without acceleration or notice irregular shifting patterns. Unusual Noises Grinding, whining, or clunking noises can indicate that contaminated fluid is no longer cushioning the metal components properly. As dirt and debris circulate through the system, they can cause increased friction and wear. These noises should never be ignored, as they often precede more serious transmission damage if not addressed promptly. Delayed or Rough Shifting If you experience hesitation when shifting into gear or rough transitions between gears, contaminated transmission fluid may be the culprit. The buildup of debris interferes with smooth operation, making it difficult for the transmission to respond correctly.
