From strange noises to slipping gears, we’ll identify the issue and get your vehicle back on the road with smooth, reliable performance.
Understanding Your Vehicle’s Transmission
A vehicle's transmission ensures your engine’s power reaches the wheels appropriately based on your speed and driving conditions. There are two main types:
Automatic Transmission
-
Shifts gears automatically based on speed, load, and throttle response
-
Includes traditional automatics, CVTs (continuously variable transmissions), and dual-clutch transmissions
-
Modern models often lack a dipstick, only qualified technicians like ours can check the fluid level and condition
Manual Transmission
-
Requires the driver to operate a clutch pedal and gear shifter
-
Offers greater control but can wear down if not properly maintained
-
Common in performance vehicles and older models
At Auto Depot, we’re trained and equipped to handle both automatic and manual transmission systems with OEM tools and dealer-level diagnostics.
Signs You Need Transmission Repair
If your transmission is starting to fail, don’t wait, it can quickly lead to total breakdowns and costly damage. Look out for these red flags:
Grinding or Shaking During Gear Changes
-
In manuals, grinding can mean a worn clutch or synchronizer
-
In automatics, shaking or stuttering during shifts is a common sign of internal transmission issues
Delayed or Slipping Gears
-
If your car hesitates, jerks, or downshifts randomly, the transmission isn’t functioning properly
Unusual Noises in Neutral
-
Clunking or whining noises while in neutral can indicate worn bearings or internal wear
Burning Odor or Discolored Fluid
-
Transmission fluid should be bright red and smell clean
-
A burnt smell or dark brown color is a sign of overheating or fluid degradation
Transmission Fluid Leaks
-
Red fluid under your car? That’s a leaking transmission, a problem that needs immediate attention
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, schedule a diagnostic with Auto Depot in Sequim right away. Ignoring them can lead to complete transmission failure.
