Signs Your Transmission Needs a Flush

Recognizing signs of contaminated or degraded transmission fluid can prevent transmission issues and ensure the longevity of your vehicle’s transmission system. Look out for these common symptoms:

• Slipping Gears: If your transmission slips out of gear, shifts erratically, or hesitates before engaging, it could indicate degraded or contaminated transmission fluid affecting clutch engagement and hydraulic pressure.
• Burning Smell: A burnt odor coming from the transmission or exhaust system, especially after driving, may indicate overheated or deteriorated transmission fluid, which can lead to increased friction and component wear.
• Transmission Fluid Leaks: Puddles or spots of red or brown fluid beneath your vehicle, or visible leaks from the transmission pan or seals, could indicate low transmission fluid levels or leaks caused by degraded seals or gaskets.
• Noisy Transmission: Unusual noises, such as whining, grinding, or clunking sounds coming from the transmission, particularly during gear shifts or when the vehicle is in motion, may be caused by insufficient or contaminated transmission fluid.
• Delayed or Harsh Shifting: Delayed or harsh shifts between gears, especially when accelerating or decelerating, can result from degraded transmission fluid affecting hydraulic pressure and clutch engagement.

If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s essential to have your transmission inspected and serviced promptly.
