Detect Transmission Problems Early
If you detect a problem with your transmission, you should bring it in to Sheridan Auto Tech as soon as possible for repair. Transmission problems usually worsen with time, which is why detecting and repairing problems early can help save you money and reduce the time it takes to perform the repair.
Factors that can contribute to transmission damage include:
- Dramatic fluctuations in weather
- Stop-and-go traffic
- Pulling or towing trailers
- Daily use of your vehicle
All of these factors can lead to your transmission overheating which causes transmission fluid--which is necessary to keep your vehicle's engine in proper working order--to be lost. But it can be difficult for you to know when a problem has arisen with your transmission. Some common signs of transmission problems include:
- The check engine light turns on. While this could be an indicator of a number of problems, such as issues with the engine or exhaust, it also can be an indicator of problems with your transmission.
- You’re having trouble shifting into gear. If it feels like your transmission is hesitating when shifting gears or has difficulty switching to park or drive, the transmission likely has a problem that needs to be addressed.
- Strange noises are coming from your car. If you hear whining, humming or other sounds from your transmission or strange noises when you shift gears, it likely indicates a problem with your transmission.
- Transmission fluid is leaking. If you notice fluid leaking from your car, you may be dealing with a transmission fluid leak. Low fluid can lead to your transmission overheating, so you should get this checked as soon as possible.
If you notice any of these problems, bring your vehicle in to Sheridan Auto Tech in Lakewood, CO, for our skilled technicians to diagnose the problem and talk with you about your repair options.
