Slipping Out of Gear

Your transmission is how your vehicle provides power to your wheels, or transmits it — hence the name. But, as your transmission ages and experiences normal wear and tear, it can have a hard time connecting. When this happens, you’ll notice your car slipping out of gear from time to time during gear changes. This is signaled by a sudden increase in RPMs and the sound of your engine revving high for seemingly no reason. This is a tell-tale sign it’s time for transmission repair or transmission service.

Strange Noises 

Weird noises coming from your car is never a good sign in pretty much any circumstances. But, if you hear grinding, scraping, or generally unsettling noises coming from your transmission, it’s a pretty good indicator that it’s time to bring it in for a little transmission servicing.

Leaking Fluid

If part of your vehicle’s transmission is cracked, damaged, or not sealed properly, it may start to leak transmission fluid. Check the ground under where your vehicle was parked for a long period to see if it’s losing any fluids. You can tell if it’s transmission fluid leaking because it’ll have a rotten-eggs/sulfur kind of smell to it. That is, unless the fluid is brand new — in which case it should have a slightly more pleasant odor. You can also identify transmission fluid by its pink/light red coloring.

Hard Shifts

In an automatic car, you should barely be able to feel your car shift at all — especially in newer models. A harder shift on occasion isn’t anything to worry about. But, if your car is regularly shifting hard, it’s probably time for transmission service. If you’ve never experienced a hard shift, it’s essentially where your car lurches during a shift to the point where it’s very obvious and noticeable that your car shifted gears.
