When it comes to trying to diagnose your car issues, it can be really hard to do for the untrained eye. If you don’t know a lot about cars, it is often best to go to a specialist. A lot of companies offer free consultations. This way you find out what is wrong and they get the opportunity to get your business. However, a lot of issues can be broken down to fluid and response.

Leaking Fluid

A transmission reuses the same fluid; it doesn’t use it up as your motor does. Therefore, if you start seeing your transmission is constantly low on fluid you most likely have a leak somewhere. It can be easy to spot a leak, just look under your car towards where your motor and transmission meet and see if there is a spot on the ground. Transmission fluid is a reddish color and smells sweet. When you run low on fluid, you can chip gears and over heat.

Lack or No Response

Your transmission is created to work like a machine. Transferring power from the motor and sending it to the axle. Sometimes where a transmission is getting worn out there becomes an issue such as lack of response, which can cause a slight loss of power. You can tell if this is happening if when you go into drive, and the motor revs to high rpm’s before taking off, then there is a response issue. Get to a repairman to see what the issue exactly is.

Often these two-run hand in hand. If you are having fluid issues, it can cause your transmission to lack response or quit altogether. A professional should handle transmission issues at all times. They require several different tools and part, making it outrageous for a normal person to handle. Contact Twin Transmission; they can assist you with all your transmission repairs and rebuild with little cost to you.
