Routine Maintenance Schedule

Typically, this is every 30,000 to 60,000 miles for automatic transmissions and every 60,000 to 100,000 miles for manual transmissions.

Slipping Gears

If your vehicle's gears slip in and out of place or you experience a sudden change in the vehicle's performance, it's time for a check-up.

Rough Shifting

Difficulty in shifting gears, especially if the shifts are rough or delayed, indicates that your transmission may need servicing.

Unusual Noises

Grinding, whining, or other unusual noises during gear shifts or while driving can signal transmission or clutch issues

Fluid Leaks

Check for transmission fluid leaks, as low fluid levels can lead to significant damage. The fluid should be a clear red color; if it's brown or has a burnt smell, it needs to be changed.

Clutch Pedal Issues

If you notice that the clutch pedal in your manual transmission feels spongy, sticks, or vibrates, this could indicate that the clutch requires servicing.

Vehicle Stalling

If your vehicle stalls when coming to a stop or has trouble moving when you press the accelerator, it could be related to transmission or clutch problems.

Warning Lights

Pay attention to your vehicle's dashboard warning lights. If the transmission warning light or check engine light comes on, it's important to have your vehicle inspected.

Transmission Fluid Changes

Regularly check your transmission fluid level and condition. Change it according to your manufacturer's recommendations or if it looks dirty or smells burnt.
