What are the common signs of a transmission fluid problem?

by Keizer Transmission • 18 Apr, 2024
Transmission fluid lubricates gears, cools the transmission, and facilitates smooth gear shifts. However, like other fluids in your vehicle, transmission fluid can eventually deteriorate or get too low, leading to potential issues. Ignoring problems with transmission fluid can result in costly repairs and even total transmission failure. Therefore, it's important to recognize the signs indicating a problem with your transmission fluid, and then promptly take action. At Keizer Transmission, we can expertly address issues related to transmission fluid. Here’s a look at four signs of a transmission fluid problem. Fluid Discoloration or Contamination Healthy transmission fluid should be a reddish or pinkish color and have a clean appearance. As the miles add up, transmission fluid can become contaminated with dirt and debris, causing it to darken or become cloudy. Also, fluid that smells burnt or has a foul odor is an indication of contamination. Discolored or contaminated transmission fluid may not effectively protect the transmission components, leading to premature wear and tear. Slipping Gears If you notice your vehicle's gears slipping or hesitating when shifting, it could be a sign of insufficient or degraded transmission fluid. Transmission fluid plays a crucial role in maintaining proper hydraulic pressure within the transmission, which is essential for smooth gear shifts. When the fluid level is low or contaminated, it can cause a delay in gear engagement or result in gears slipping out of place. Unusual Noises Any unusual noises coming from your vehicle's transmission—such as grinding, whining, or clunking sounds—should not be ignored. These noises may indicate various transmission problems, including low fluid levels or worn-out components. In some cases, contaminated or degraded transmission fluid can cause increased friction and overheating, resulting in unusual sounds coming from the transmission. Fluid Leaks Transmission fluid leaks are a clear sign of a problem that requires immediate attention. You may notice puddles or stains of reddish-colored fluid underneath your vehicle. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include damaged seals, gaskets, or transmission pan leaks. It's important to address any leaks promptly to prevent further fluid loss and potential damage to the transmission.
