Shifting Through the Gears

Drivers with an automatic transmission might not be able to notice when something isn’t right. When you drive with a manual transmission though, you’re practically connected to your vehicle as you have to carefully shift through your gears when you’re behind the wheel. When something starts to break, it can be incredibly jarring for this reason. Your responsive ride suddenly doesn’t handle as well as it used to, and you might have trouble even running basic errands. Your transmission uses transmission fluid to keep everything loose, but over time, this fluid is going to degrade. If you’re trying to keep your transmission in good shape, it’s important that you keep track of the fluid and that you change it regularly. If you don’t, your car’s performance is going to suffer, and you might find that your transmission starts to fail.

What’s Wrong with My Transmission?

Your car might not be able to talk, but it’s going to give you a lot of warnings when something is wrong. You’ll need to know what to look for when your transmission starts to fail. Generally, you should:

Check for Strange Sounds: When your transmission fluid is running low, you might hear grinding noises. If your car is noisy even when you’re in neutral, this could also mean that you have a major problem on your hands.
Pay Attention to How the Clutch Feels: When you’re shifting through your gears, is the clutch slipping? This might mean that your clutch is actually the issue and not your transmission. We can look into both at Stanley Ford Eastland.
Look for Your Check Engine Light: Your check engine light is usually the first thing that you’ll see when something is wrong with your vehicle.
