Do you know what part of your automatic car is responsible for the shifting between gears? It is the transmission. Of course, when you’re driving, you won’t think much about it. However, when problems start to arise, you may find it more challenging to change gears, even if at all possible. By then, you would need to send your car in for a transmission repair before things get worse.
That said, if you’ve never had a transmission problem before, you might be wondering what kind of signs there are signalling to you that a repair is due. If that’s the case, keep on reading!
Let’s talk about the signs that your automatic car needs its transmission repaired:
This is one of the most common ways that people will notice that there’s something wrong with the transmission. As you drive, your car shifts gear fairly quickly. Sometimes, the shifts are barely noticeable, but that’s not the case when there’s something wrong.
If your car seems to be taking longer to shift gears, it’s possible that one or more of your gears is slipping. This is important because if this continues, your transmission may stop shifting entirely.
A problem with your automatic transmission is likely to cause your engine to rev up for longer than normal when you shift gears. If you notice that your engine revs up like this, it seems to be the time to check with your mechanic.
Of course, if you notice that your engine revs up normally, but one or more of your gears is slipping, you should also check with your mechanic as soon as possible.
This is another sign that your transmission is having some sort of problems. As you shift gears, you may hear a crunching sound, as if something is slipping.
If you start hearing weird or crunching sounds whenever you press the accelerator and the gears change, that’s a sign that your transmission is dying and needs to be repaired.
If you’re trying to drive your car, but it won’t shift into reverse and drives forward instead, you should check your transmission right away. Even though you may think that there’s nothing wrong with it, the fact that your car won’t shift into reverse tells you otherwise.
Fortunately, there are some simple repairs that can solve this problem. However, it can’t be fixed forever, so you should take your car in right away. The longer you wait, the bigger the problem will be, so get it fixed as soon as possible.
If you’re noticing any of these signs, it’s time to take your car to a transmission repair shop. Even if you think that your transmission is doing fine, it is important to have it checked every now and then. Remember, it’s always better to be safe than sorry. Plus, the earlier a problem is caught, the cheaper and faster the fix will be! So, if you notice any of the above signs, get it checked out right away.
