You can count on Green Lawn Garage for all of your automotive service needs. This includes the transmission. We are the best auto shop in Denver, Pennsylvania. If your automatic transmission is doing any of the things listed below, head straight to our shop to avoid additional transmission damage.
Hesitation or Gear Slippage
When the automatic transmission starts to go bad, it may hesitate before it shifts out of one gear and into another gear. The transmission may also slip out of gear and into neutral all by itself. Both of the signs are an indication that your automatic transmission is in need of service right away.
Inability to Shift the Gears
Eventually, as the problems in the transmission worsen, it will become unable to shift the gears. Consequently, you may be able to get your vehicle into Drive, but the transmission will be unable to shift out of first gear into second gear and so on. You cannot drive your car in this condition.
Inability to Go Into Gear
It gets worse. There comes a point when an automatic or manual transmission simply will not go into gear anymore. At this point, the transmission likely needs to be rebuilt or replaced. Do not worry. We can do that here at our shop. You just need to have your vehicle towed to our location.
Overheating Transmission
The transmission may also start to overheat if it is overdue for a fluid flush and refill. This service should be performed every 30,000 miles. If the fluid is low or dirty, it will not properly lubricate the moving transmission parts. Consequently, the transmission will get too hot.
Leaking Transmission Fluid
Naturally, if the transmission starts to leak the transmission fluid, this, too, will lower the transmission fluid level. Places from where the transmission fluid can leak include the pan gasket, the torque converter, the transmission pan, and the transmission hoses.
Strange Transmission Noises
Your transmission may also give you an audible warning that it is overdue for service. For example, it should never clunk when you move the gear shift. It also shouldn’t grind as it shifts the gears. Finally, the transmission should never hum when it is in neutral.
Shaking or Vibrating
Lastly, your automobile may shake or vibrate if the transmission is no longer able to shift the gears smoothly. The shaking and vibration are also a sign that the transmission fluid is overdue for a change.
