#TransmissionTips: It's smart to get your transmission fluid checked monthly. Low fluid levels or dirty transmission fluid is the number one cause of most transmission problems such as overheating. Protect your transmission!!!
If you want to switch gears, but your vehicle doesn't, perhaps you have a transmission problem. This could be the result of low transmission fluid or the wrong kind. It may also point to a more serious problem.
If your transmission fluid is low it’s a telltale sign that you have a leak somewhere. But, where’s the leak coming from? The most common places are fluid lines, seals, pan gasket, or drain plug.
Your vehicle's check engine light can indicate any one of many issues, ranging from minor to complex, with your vehicle. But did you know it could also be an indicator of transmission trouble? If the problem is electrical, it can.
If you have it in your plans to attempt a transmission repair on your own, think twice before you dive in. Transmission repair and maintenance is extremely difficult and can lead to more issues down the road if done wrong 😬
