One of the most expensive parts of the car to be repaired is the transmission. In general like most of your car they are built well.But it will be broken over time and it is vey expensive to fix.  So you want to always maintain your transmission. With that in mind let’s look at some signs of transmission problems.

First thing that can signal a problem with the transmission is by looking at the fluids.You can check for signs of a problem by checking your fluid levels using a dipstick. If you notice that the fluid level is always low then that might be a sign of a leak.If the fluid has a burnt smell or is dark in color then that is a sure sign of problems.Always check the fluids of your car to make sure that there won’t be any major damage in the transmission of your car. If you notice any of thesse signs you must immediately go into an auto repair shop.  I catch a lot of transmission problems early in my Escondido transmission repair shop with these signs alone.

Another sign of a problem of your transmission would be when there is a delay when you are shifting it into drive. If you shift it and it does not get into gear immediately then that’s a sign of a problem. They call that problem a delayed engagement. This could be caused by a worn out transmission or another problem. I have all my clients take it into my Escondido auto repair shop anytime they get the delayed engagement problem.

And last sign would be when the gears are jerky when shifting it while driving.All shifting done when driving should be smooth and not jerky.  This is the sign of a worn transmission if your car jerks everytime it shifts gear. I catch a lot of problems early in my Oceanside transmission repair shop when this happens.By detecting problems earlier, a customer can save more money instead of spending it on repairs.
