How to Know if Your Car Needs Transmission Service

Below, our team shares how to know if your car needs transmission service. Car transmission issues could leave you stranded on the roads of Aurora and Fort Collins, so be on the lookout for these car transmission warning signs. 

Car Transmission Warning Signs 

  • The Transmission Warning Light is On: If the check engine light or transmission warning light is illuminated on your dashboard, bring your vehicle in to be evaluated by a mechanic. 
  • You Experience Rough Idling: Vehicle vibrations, no matter if they occur when driving or idling, should always be checked out at a service center. 
  • The Transmission is Slipping: Does the transmission slip in and out of gear? Is this issue more pronounced when driving on uneven terrain? Set up a service appointment soon. This is almost always a sign of car transmission issues. 
  • Your Vehicle Accelerates Poorly: Problems with the transmission can cause slower acceleration. 
  • Fluid is Leaking from the Transmission: Fluid leaking from your vehicle is not always indicative of car transmission issues. However, a faulty transmission can be the culprit. Place a white sheet of paper underneath the leak so that you can better evaluate the color of the fluid. If the fluid leak is read or brownish in color, there's a good chance the transmission is to blame.
