The transmission of your vehicle is one of the most important and complex systems that keep your car running smoothly. If you suspect that your car has a transmission problem and is in need of Chevy repair, James Martin Chevrolet can shed some light on a few common transmission problems.
Gear Issues
The transmission’s job is to change gears at varying speeds to make the best use of the engine’s power.
For a manual car, a transmission experiencing gear issues will come in the form of a grinding sound when shifting gears, or difficulty getting the gear changed. In a car with an automatic transmission, gear transitions may feel jarring. Or, the car won’t engage gears when it should, which can sound like the car is revving excessively.
Leaking Transmission Fluid
A transmission fluid leak can lead to a burning smell, grinding gears, clunking sounds, and unusual vibrations. Leaks may be visible as a red puddle sitting under the vehicle and can be caused by a gap in the gasket, faulty fluid lines, or seal gaps. If you think you have a transmission leak, bring your vehicle to our Chevy service department as soon as possible, because a leak can eventually cause transmission failure.
