What Does a Transmission Do?

Your first question may be: What is the purpose of a transmission? Your transmission plays an important part in the functioning of your car. The transmission is responsible for turning the engine’s combustion power into the momentum that drives your wheels forward. Without it, your car would stand idle and not be able to move.

The transmission uses gear shifts to accelerate and helps with the smoothness of your drive. There are four major types of transmissions out there, including:

• Manual
• Automatic
• Continuously variable transmission (CVT)
• Semi-automatic and dual-clutch

If you’re unsure about what kind of transmission you have, check your vehicle’s owner’s manual or let our service team take a look for you.

Signs You Need Transmisson Repair

Now that you know what a transmission does, it’s time to figure out if yours needs repair. Here are some symptoms to look out for:

• Delayed gear shifts: You notice that it takes longer for your vehicle to assimilate and maintain its gear.
• Burning smell: You smell a burning scent coming from your car.
• Fluid leaks: Check underneath your vehicle to see if you can spot red transmission fluid leaking out of your car.
• Strange noises: Clanking, humming, or squealing noises are coming from your car.
• Check engine light is on: If your check engine symbol is illuminated, your vehicle is trying to tell you that there’s an internal issue.

If you’ve noticed one or more of these signs, your car is more than likely experiencing issues with its transmission. The safe thing to do is get your vehicle checked out as soon as possible for a proper diagnosis. If ignored, these issues can affect your car’s other systems.
