What Does a Transmission System Do?
The transmission system is a vital component of your car. Installed on the engine, your transmission system works by converting the power and speed from the engine into momentum, which in turn moves your wheels forward.
Time to Schedule Transmission Repairs
There are a few major signs and symptoms to watch out for when it comes to your transmission system. If you notice one or a combination of the following, it’s a good idea to schedule transmission service:
- Burning smell
- Grinding noises
- Unusual/delayed gear shifts
- Leaking transmission fluid
Transmission fluid is red in most cars, making it very easy to identify. If you notice a puddle of red liquid under your vehicle, this could indicate a transmission fluid leak. Before driving to a service center, you’ll want to refill your transmission fluid.
If you have trouble shifting gears, this will prevent you from driving and could become a major hazard while you’re out on the road. To limit further damage, schedule service as soon as you notice something off with your transmission system.
