Transmission Problems and Troubleshooting

Here are some common transmission problems and their indicators:

Problem shifting gears: If your vehicle is shifting hard, or there is a delay, or if your vehicle is not going into or staying in gear, you likely have a transmission problem needing inspection and repair.

Your transmission is slipping: If you car is slipping between gear changes, or the engine seems to race when you shift to Drive, this is a common symptom of transmission problems.

Your Transmission is Making Noise: Do you hear a clicking or buzzing noise coming from your transmission? Is there a clunking noise when you change gears? This likely means that there are parts within your transmission that are hitting each other abnormally.

You See Red Transmission Fluid Leaking Under Your Car: You should definitely not ignore this if you see this. Having an insufficient amount of transmission fluid or transmission oil (or the wrong kind) can make your transmission operate incorrectly, and to overheat.

Check Engine Light: Most new vehicles have electronic transmissions that will send out an error code when there is a problem. Make sure to visit Bracebridge Radiator & Muffler Centre for your transmission repair where we can hook up a diagnostic computer to identify the problem.
