Most Common Transmission Problems

Causes of Transmission Issues

The transmission consists of several parts and systems that work together to control and direct the engine’s power. So, when you have an issue, it’s typically due to one of these components:

• Transmission fluid
• Torque converter
• Solenoid
• Clutch

Transmission fluid problems are actually the most common cause of transmission issues. If you have a low fluid level or leak, it can have serious effects on your vehicle’s performance abilities. For instance, low transmission fluid can damage the solenoid, which controls the flow of fluid through the vehicle.

How can you tell if your transmission needs repairs, though? How can you figure out which component is causing the problem?

Signs You Need Transmission Repairs

There are a few performance issues you can keep an eye out for that might alert you to potential transmission problems, such as:

• Transmission slipping
• Delayed gear shifts
• Fluid leak
• Burning smell
• Strange sound while driving

If you notice that your vehicle won’t stay in gear or struggles to change gears, there’s likely something wrong with the transmission. This can commonly be caused by low transmission fluid. You can tell if your vehicle is leaking transmission fluid by checking for a red puddle under the vehicle after it’s been parked and turned off for an extended period of time. The burning smell could also be attributed to fluid leak.
