Saturday, February 6th, 2010

We all know that there is no shortage of things that can go wrong with a vehicle but one of the more common things and probably the most concerning things is when something goes wrong with the auto transmission. The concern here is that it is not easily repairable and repairs are usually quite expensive and finally the car really just will not be able to function when the problems with the transmission are there.

There are signs that you are going to notice that there are transmission problems lurking. To begin with the car just may not feel like it is operating like it normally does. Then you may find that even when the car is not moving or is moving at a slow rate the engine is racing very fast. You may find that when you go to change gears it seems to be a very rough move rather than a smooth transition. It may seem like your changes have not even engaged or they have been missed. Sometimes you will hear unusual noises when you go to do your gear changes or even while you are driving. You may find that oil leaks or you may even get a burnt smelling odor off the auto transmission oil and it may even look black. (more…)
