If you notice your car slipping out of gear or experiencing delayed response when shifting, this could be a sign of transmission trouble. Automatic and manual transmissions rely on seamless gear engagement — any hesitation can be a serious warning sign.
A strong burning odor coming from your vehicle could mean the transmission is overheating or the fluid is breaking down. Overheated fluid can’t lubricate or cool components properly, leading to major damage if left untreated.
Transmission fluid is typically bright red and slightly sweet-smelling. If you notice red puddles under your car, don’t ignore it. Fluid leaks often mean seals or gaskets are failing, which can quickly escalate into major repairs.
Grinding, whining, or clunking sounds—especially while shifting—can point to worn gears, clutch issues, or failing internal components. If caught early, these can often be fixed without replacing the entire transmission.
Don’t let minor issues turn into expensive transmission replacements. At Metric Motors, we specialize in diagnosing and repairing automatic and manual transmissions. Using advanced tools and quality parts, we’ll make sure your car shifts smoothly and safely.
Whether it’s a slipping clutch, low transmission fluid, or worn synchronizers — we’ve got the tools and expertise to restore performance.
