As the main component to turn power from an engine into motion for the wheels, your car’s transmission is one of the most important aspects of your vehicle. When you need prompt, reliable transmission maintenance, Friendly Transmission Service of High Point, NC, puts your car in the most capable hands. While transmission repairs are second nature to these experts, they know most drivers aren’t as in tune with the warning signs of transmission failure.

To protect your vehicle and stay safe while driving, remember these signs of the most common transmission issues:

  • Warning Light: While this might be the easiest signifier of a transmission problem, some drivers don’t take their warning lights as seriously as they should. The warning light doesn’t tell you immediately what is going on under the hood, just that your car’s internal computer is detecting an error. To get to the bottom of the issue, take your car into Friendly Transmission Service as soon as the light is illuminated before the problem gets worse.
  • Leaking Transmission Fluid: As transmissions are manufactured to be sealed components, leaking is never a good sign. Check regularly for puddles on your garage floor or driveway that are red or brown in color. Instead of attempting to refill your transmission fluid yourself, take it to a professional garage to prevent the risk of overfilling.
  • transmission repairsIrregular Shifts: While the driver must shift cars with manual transmissions, you can tell your automatic transmission is faulty if you begin to feel your car roughly shifting gears. As this process is usually smooth and undetectable, irregular noises or jerks during acceleration could be a sign you need transmission repair.
  • Transmission Slipping: Another sign of transmission error is feeling like your gears are slipping when they shouldn’t be. If the noise of your engine suddenly changes in pitch when you’re maintaining an even speed, take your car into your local transmission repair shop as soon as possible.

If you experience these or any other irregular behavior with your vehicle’s engine, call Friendly Transmission Service at (336) 882-1164 for reliable, affordable transmission maintenance.
