Avoid Costly Transmission Repairs with Preventative Maintenance
No one wants to deal with a serious transmission repair problem. Not only can it be costly, but it's inconvenient. Preventative maintenance is always the best measure in avoiding a transmission repair. It's important to periodically check the transmission fluid level and its condition. It's also imperative that you repair any leaks and deal with problems promptly. Here are some signs that may indicate a potential transmission repair problem:
- Low transmission fluid level:Transmissions do not consume fluid so if the level is low, you have a leak that should be repaired. The transmission fluid level should be checked while the engine is at operating temperature. Consult with your owner's manual on the specific procedure for your car or truck.
- Staining from transmission fluid under your car: This is an obvious indicator that a leak exists and requires transmission repair.
- Transmission fluid smells burned or looks cloudy.
- Erratic shift points or unusual noises when shifting.
