Maintaining Your Transmission

Indicators that your transmission needs servicing include:

  • Check Engine Light – A displayed “check engine” light indicates there is a problem, and while it may not be the transmission, it’s a good idea to have the codes checked by a reputable auto technician to be sure. Addressing the issue in a timely manner can prevent costly repairs in the future.
  • Slipping Transmission – Low transmission fluid, contaminated transmission fluid, and/or internal transmission issues can cause the transmission to slip. If you notice your transmission slipping, get it checked sooner than later.
  • Humming Noises – Noises, such as buzzing or humming, can be caused by leaking transmission fluid or internal transmission damage.
  • Transmission Fluid Leaks – One of the easiest problems to detect is leaking transmission fluid, which will be visibly noticeable under the car. Having this issue corrected can make all the difference in your transmission’s health and performance of the vehicle.
  • Hesitation – Low transmission fluid, water or contaminates in the fluid can cause the transmission to hesitate when put into gear. These issues are easy and affordable to correct.
