Hearing that there's something wrong with the transmission on your vehicle can be really scary, but if you catch these problems early enough then they won't spiral into something costly later on. A few quick tips can make it much easier to spot transmission issues. For instance, your vehicle might start producing an unusual odor.
Burning smells can often mean that you need a transmission fluid change. A more visible indicator might occur if you were having transmission fluid leaking out the bottom of your vehicle. Some drivers actually slip a clean piece of cardboard under their car after they shut it off to make sure nothing is dripping off the bottom.
When you shift, pay attention to how it feels. While your vehicle's gear shift might not be completely smooth, it shouldn't be rough or give you a weird grinding sensation. If any of this seems familiar, then a get in touch with our experts at Babbitt Ford in Flagstaff.
