Transmission slippage happens when your vehicle shifts into the wrong gear for the speed it is driving. If your transmission slips, get it checked as quickly as possible. Driving with a faulty transmission is exceedingly dangerous and can lead to an accident. We discuss the most common signs of a slipping transmission below. When your transmission is showing signs of trouble, contact G & J Auto Repair Shop in Inglewood and Bellflower, CA, for expert service.
In manual transmission vehicles, pay particular attention to how the transmission shifts. The gearbox may be worn out if shifting becomes difficult or the clutch frequently pops out of gear. Gears in automated transmissions can also slip. Worse, the transmission may begin to shift gears on its own, which is dangerous and may cause your vehicle to stall while driving.
If you press on the gas and feel a lack of power, or if your car is slow or sluggish in general, your transmission may be slipping. To get your car moving, you may need to press the gas pedal forcefully. Another red flag is having high RPMs but low speeds.
Grinding gears are the most common sounds heard in manual transmissions, which is a solid sign that your automobile is experiencing transmission slippage. Pay close attention to any unusual odors, particularly burnt ones. Any distinctive noises or odors coming from your vehicle should be investigated by a mechanic.
