Your Vehicle is Struggling to Stay in Gear
If you notice that your car won’t go into the next gear, or won’t stay in gear, it’s likely due to fluid leaks or issues with the transmission cable. Pay attention to your vehicle’s RPM — or revolutions per minute — and how the vehicle feels. If it’s sluggish or seems to have difficulty moving out of its own way, that’s likely because it’s in the wrong gear, due to slippage or fluid loss.
There is a Burning Smell When Shifting
You always want to pay attention to unusual smells or sounds when driving. If you notice that your vehicle has a burning odor when shifting gears, it may be because the transmission fluid is low, and the clutching is experiencing friction. Address this issue right away to save the transmission system from potential failure and exorbitant repair or replacement costs.
Transmission Fluid is Leaking
Many common transmission issues are caused by low transmission fluid levels, which may be due to a leak or poor seal somewhere in the system. If you notice obvious signs of leaking, like puddles of transmission fluid below your vehicle, schedule service as soon as possible.
