What are the signs of a bad transmission? Maguire Dealerships is here to answer that question. It's important to protect your car in Syracuse and Baldwinsville to ensure its road-ready.
Failing Transmission Signs
There are a few things drivers can look for when driving. These can be the key signs that the transmission in your vehicle needs repair.
Leaking transmission fluid is an easy way to know your car needs an inspection. Fluid in your garage or driveway is what to look for. Transmission fluid is what helps your car shift and run smoothly.
If fluid is running low, it may be because there's a leak. Adding transmission fluid can keep your car out of trouble before you bring it to the dealership, but if it continues to pool in your driveway, the transmission will need a look.
A sweet or slightly tart odor can also be a sign that the transmission is struggling. If you smell any strange odors like this, it could be that the transmission is burning. If your car starts making odd noises, like a humming or buzzing, the transmission will need to be inspected. If it's not responding properly, it can lead to a lack of power when you need it on the highway.
