Your transmission is one of the most important components of your vehicle. It consists of a bunch of moving parts that all need to be working perfectly. There are a few warning signs to watch out for to tell if you are going to need a new transmission in the near future.
Leaking Fluid
After you move your vehicle after it has been parked, take note if you see fluid underneath where your car just was. Reasons why fluid might be leaking can include the presence of worn-out gaskets or your driveshaft being out of balance.
Warning Light Turns On
Even if everything appears to be fine, you need to be mindful if a warning light shines brightly on your dashboard. Your vehicle may be picking up warning signs that you cannot see or hear yourself. Inspect the issue.
Strong Odors
If you start smelling unpleasant odors coming from your vehicle, then you are going to need more than an air freshener to resolve it. Smells that are tart or a little sweet often come from a leaking transmission.
To avoid any dangerous incidents on the road, make sure to get your vehicle checked out every so often. To get yours looked at, contact White’s Automotive Center in Columbus at 706-323-1060.
