Are you getting funny noises or jerking when your automatic transmission shifts? Get your transmission checked out before the problem gets worse

Hi, Rick from ABC Autotech here,

For those of you who do not know, our car’s transmission can be likened to our body’s nervous system. It is the part of the car which sends messages to the other parts. It is crucial that your car’s transmission be maintained to avoid problems. If you do not maintain your car’s transmission, you could end up spending more than $3,000 on repairs.

What are the signs of a problematic transmission? If your transmission won’t allow you to change gears, it means there is something wrong with it. If you hear a lot of noise when changing gears, it also means that you need to have your car’s transmission checked.

Low fluid levels in your car’s transmission can lead to costly damage. This is also a sign that the car has not been cared for by its owner. There is no affordable way of repairing a car’s transmission. Another sign of a problematic transmission is when there are fluid leaks. You can tell if it is the transmission fluid that is leaking because it has a red color. Fluid leaks are the result of damage between the engine of the car and the transmission itself. Replacing a broken transmission is just like buying a new car so pay attention to your car’s transmission if you do not want to waste a lot of money.

If you have any questions about your car, truck, SUV or van, please give me a call. You can reach me anytime at 941-755-0112.

‘Till next time, be safe out there!
