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.
