What are the signs of a failing transmission?
Common signs of a failing transmission include difficulty shifting gears, slipping gears, unusual noises (such as whining or clunking), and fluid leaks. You might also notice the vehicle hesitating or jerking during acceleration. In automatic transmissions, delayed or erratic shifting is another red flag. It’s essential to address these symptoms promptly, as transmission repairs can be costly, and neglecting the issue can lead to complete transmission failure.
