What are common signs of a transmission problem?

If you’re driving along and your vehicle suddenly jumps out of gear, then you’ve got an obvious sign of transmission trouble. This can occur if contaminants in transmission fluid obstruct the fluid’s flow, causing fluid pressure to drop to the point that the vehicle won’t stay reliably in gear. A transmission fluid flush might remedy this problem, but there’s also a chance you’ll need more intensive work to be done. You should also bring your vehicle to the shop if you notice delayed shifting or herky-jerky shifting.

Another common transmission problem is that transmission fluid is leaking. One sign of a leak is that there’s red-to-pink colored fluid on the ground where your car has been parked. You have further evidence that it is transmission fluid on the ground if the fluid has a slightly sweet smell. Also, it’s a good idea to check your transmission fluid once per month to make sure it’s at a healthy level and isn’t turning dark. If your transmission dipstick shows a concerningly low reading, then you’ll want to make sure you don’t have a leak. Transmission fluid provides cooling, fluid pressure, lubrication, and rust prevention. So it’s highly important that you’re operating with the right amount and that it’s unpolluted.

With manual transmissions, it’s important to watch out for symptoms of clutch trouble, which include burning odors and grinding. You’ll also want to get to the shop if your clutch pedal has become sticky, noisy, or is significantly vibrating.
