Car transmission problems

Your car’s transmission is directly related to your car’s drivability since it controls the application of power from the engine to the driveshaft. Due to the constant moving and interaction between its components, the heat and friction produced thus accelerate the speed of wear and tear. Although with regular checkups and proper maintenance, it is only a matter of time for the arising of related problems. Transmission repairs or replacements are inconvenient, stressful and typically quite expensive, so it’s good for you to keep an eye on any abnormal signs to avoid creating extra load on your purse. Following good preventive maintenance schedules and procedures for your transmission will help it last longer, perform better and require fewer repairs before it becomes a more involved and a more costly issue. That is to say, you can diagnose your car’s transmission problems and fix them by knowing what the most types of transmission problems are. Basically, there are 10 signs for you look for. Firstly, lacking of response, it refers to the car’s hesitation to your action, like shifting into drive or park and it is usually a transmission based concern. Secondly, whining, clunking and humming, do not ignore these strange noises since each one of them can easily become a much more costly one if you wait to have the time or money to fix it. Thirdly, leaking or low fluid, you can see your fluid leaks, or the readings on the dipstick referring a low fluid level means there is a leak somewhere. Fourthly, grinding or shaking, a car is supposed to run smoothly and fluently, when such signs are diagnosed related to the transmission, it indicates a gear problem. Fifthly, burning smell, be alert, overheating transmission fluid could be the cause which directly links to an overheating transmission construction. Sixthly, refusing to go into gear, this could be the result of the incorrect thickness (type) of fluid, fluid level and the clutch linkage or shift cables needing adjustment when it comes to the transmission. Seventhly, check engine light on, it is a visual early indicator of something wrong in your car transmission. Eighthly, transmission noisy in neutral, this could be the trick of transmission fluid or replacements on some worn out parts. Ninthly, gears slipping, this can be caused by a worn or broken link that holds the gears, get it fixed immediately due to safety concerns. Tenthly, dragging clutch, it is felt in manual transmission, and more often than not, the cause of this is too much slack in the clutch pedal
