It is important to understand when your transmission might be failing to save you from a potentially dangerous situation. Getting your
transmission serviced
and changing the fluids at the recommended service intervals is certainly going to cost you less than replacing your transmission. Automatic transmission fluid has a lifespan ranging from 30 000 to well over 100 000 miles. Make sure to consult your vehicle’s manual before bringing your automatic to the mechanic.
What are the tell-tale signs of a faulty transmission? In the case of low transmission fluid in an automatic transmission, you might find that your gearshifts become more abrupt and occur at awkward intervals.
If your vehicle is revving much higher than it normally does, this is a sign of internal transmission problems. A red fluid under the vehicle could mean that you probably have a transmission fluid leak from one of the cooler lines, a gasket or a seal.
Be aware of odd smells coming from your engine. If odours or smoke are detected, you should pull your vehicle over immediately. If your vehicle is not responding as it should, this is an indicator you might have a failing transmission. If you experience any of these, get to a mechanic right away.
