Signs Your Car Needs Transmission Repair
Even the most well-manufactured vehicles run into issues with repairs over time. When your investment reaches this milestone, how will you know when to bring your car to a reliable mechanic for transmission repair?
Our experts have put together the following list of signs that will let you know your gearbox requires some expert assistance:
- You can sense a delay when you go to shift gears
- You’re having a hard time getting your vehicle to shift gears
- You can smell burning
- You feel some shaking or a grinding sensation when you attempt to change gears
- Fluids are pooling beneath your vehicle
- The check engine light on your dash has come on

Since your transmission is such a vital part of your vehicle and can be tricky to access and diagnose, we recommend leaving this work to a team of certified professionals. Unlike many years ago, the gearboxes of today are highly complex, computerized components that take a great deal of skill and talent to fine-tune to perfection.

IS IT BETTER TO REPAIR OR REPLACE A TRANSMISSION?
Repairing a transmission is often less costly and can be viable if the damage is minor or your vehicle is relatively new. A repair can address specific issues without needing a complete overhaul, thus saving time and money.
However, replacing the transmission might be a more cost-effective and reliable long-term solution if the transmission has extensive damage or if the vehicle has high mileage. Replacing the transmission can ensure that all potential issues are addressed and provide a fresh start with fewer chances of future problems.
HOW MANY YEARS DO TRANSMISSION FLUIDS LAST?
Transmission fluid can last 30,000 to 60,000 miles, typically about 3 to 5 years of regular driving. However, the exact lifespan of transmission fluid can vary based on the type of fluid used, driving conditions, and your vehicle’s make and model. Regularly checking your transmission fluid and following your vehicle’s maintenance schedule can help ensure your transmission system's optimal performance and longevity.
