Your Vehicle Struggles to Get Into Gear
One of the clearest signs of transmission trouble is difficulty switching gears. In automatic transmission vehicles you will notice that the car is revving at too high an RPM, and it may feel like it’s stuck in the previous gear. You also want to watch for signs of gear slippage, which is when the transmission fails to stay in the selected gear.
You Hear Grinding Noises
You always want to pay attention to grinding sounds when driving. Typically, griding indicates that parts are beginning to wear down and metal is pressing against metal. In the case of your transmission, you may have low or dirty transmission fluid, or your gears may be damaged and out of position. It’s common for grinding to be accompanied by vehicle shaking, as well.
Your Vehicle Struggles to Accelerate
Ultimately, the transmission transfers the power from the engine to the wheel so your vehicle can move forward. If the transmission isn’t working properly, the power isn’t distributed properly, which you may see in the form of sluggish acceleration. Typically, it indicates an issue in the lower gears, and should be addressed right away.
