When your automotive service needs involve your vehicle’s transmission, never forget that most transmission problems start out small but get much worse over time. Taking quick care of any needed transmission repairs can go a long way in saving both time and money. It’s time to get your transmission checked if:
- Your vehicle won’t move
- Difficulty shifting gears
- Transmission seems to be slipping
- Transmission is abnormally loud
- Leaking transmission fluid
- Grinding sounds when shifting gears
- Problems with the clutch
- Check Engine light is on
Be careful when changing fluids on your own, petroleum based fluids from your vehicle can create a lot of headaches. Even something simple like having these fluids splash onto your clothes and getting transferred to your seat could require you to call a professional upholstery cleaner to address the issue.
