Transmission services
Every car owner understands the importance of servicing their vehicle. Doing so on a regular basis is essential to having a car that operates consistently, and keeps spontaneous breakdowns to a minimum.
What may be considered a little less essential to most drivers is getting their transmission serviced. Arguably, transmission services are just as important as a minor or major services. The reason being that your transmission is one of the most expensive parts of your car. If this part of your car gets ignored or overlooked consistently, you increase the risk of this part causing you trouble down the line.
Here are some typical signs that you may have an issue with your transmission
Bad smells from the car interior
Strange sounds as gears shift
Delayed shifting
Fluid leaks
Gears may not engage
Shaking during a gear shift
Slipping gears
If the check engine or other warning light is on
