Every driver dreads transmission problems. However, not every driver knows how to spot them. Here are some signs that a vehicle may need a Transmission Repair in Omaha NE.

Signs A Transmission Could Have Problems

  • Weird sounds are coming from under the hood. People tend to ignore weird sounds, but they are one of the first early warning signs of transmission problems as well as other problems with a vehicle. If a driver notices unusual sounds, the car should always be inspected to ensure that it is safe to drive. Sounds related to transmission failure are often described as whining or clunking.
  • The car fails to respond when shifting gears. This is noticeable in both standard and automatic transmissions. In an automatic transmission, does the vehicle appear to be stuck in a lower gear, not shifting even when it is well past the normal RPMs to shift? In a standard transmission, does moving the gear shift fail to change the transmission?
  • The car will not move into gear. Damaged transmissions often seem stuck. Are there problems moving the gear shift or moving the car into gear. Once in gear, does the car pop out of gear and into neutral?
  • The car has a burning smell when operating. If there is a transmission fluid leak, the fluid will burn when it hits other hot engine parts. This produces a burning smell that is noticeable inside the vehicle, but even more noticeable near an idling vehicle after it has been operated long enough to heat the engine.
  • The transmission is leaking fluid. Transmission fluid varies in color from a translucent red to a rusty color. Any puddles of red or reddish colored liquid under a car could be signs of a transmission fluid leak.
  • The check engine light is on. Check engine lights can signal a variety of problems with an automobile. The best way to determine why a car’s check engine light is on is to take it somewhere with a code reader that can explain why the light was activated.
