What Can Go Wrong With a Transmission?
Transmissions deal with an enormous amount of stress every time you drive—especially in stop-start traffic, heavy towing, or off-road conditions. Over time, wear and tear can cause internal components like clutch packs, valve bodies, or torque converters to degrade. Transmission fluid can also burn or leak, leading to increased friction and overheating. Warning signs include difficulty shifting, high engine revs without movement, or red fluid on the ground under your car.
Ignoring these signs can turn a simple repair into a major rebuild. Regular servicing—like fluid flushes and inspections—helps catch early issues and extend the life of your transmission. ACT Mobile Mechanics brings the workshop to your location anywhere in Canberra, offering diagnostics, fluid changes, minor repairs, and referral for larger rebuilds when needed. It’s specialist service, minus the dealership price tag and inconvenience.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the early signs of transmission problems?
Early warning signs include hesitation or slipping when changing gears, delayed acceleration, clunking or whining noises, and fluid leaks. You may also notice a burning smell or the “check engine” light coming on. These symptoms indicate that the transmission system may be under strain or low on fluid.
How often should transmission fluid be changed?
Transmission fluid should typically be replaced every 50,000 to 100,000 kilometres, depending on your car’s make, model, and usage. Vehicles that frequently tow or drive in tough conditions may need more frequent changes. Clean fluid ensures proper lubrication, temperature control, and gear engagement.
Can I drive with a faulty transmission?
Driving with a failing transmission is risky and could lead to complete breakdown or internal damage. It can cause gear slipping, unpredictable acceleration, and loss of power. If you notice transmission issues, it’s best to stop driving and call a qualified mechanic for diagnosis and repair.
