Transmission Repair

As your local McGregor dealership, we understand the last thing you want to hear is your vehicle needs transmission repair. Transmission is extremely important to your vehicle because it basically carries the engine's power to the drive axle by using various gears. Fortunately, our certified Chevrolet technicians have the skills and equipment to get your vehicle back running the way it was designed with smooth and seamless gear shifts. We also want you to save money in the long run and happy to offer some important information on signs you need tranmission repair in McGregor.

Signs of a Bad Transmission

1. Rough Shifting/Jerking

If your vehicle does a jolt when changing gears, this could be a sign of low fluid or fluid that needs replacing as well as other possible issues. 

2. Slipping Gears/ Engine Revving

Slipping gears can be scary and could be a cause of needing repair. If you hear the engine rev high when you're not expecting it, this can also cause a loss of traction. Slipping gears can be dangerous, and it's highly recommended that you get your vehicle in for repair ASAP if this is happening. 

3. Whining Noise When Shifting

If you hear a clunking, whining, or grinding noise, it could be a sign of damaged internal components, and/or bad/low fluid from in the tranmission system. 

4. Burning Smell

A burning smell coming from your car, truck, or SUV is never a good thin. It could be an overheating problem if it is transmission-related.

5. Doesn't Shift Gears

When your car has a hard time or will not shift gears, it's an indication you are having transmission trouble. It's definitely worth getting an inspection done before it becomes too late and the damage is worse. 

6. Check Engine Light / Transmission Light

A check engine or a warning message on your vehicle's dashboard may alert you to an issue with the transmission. The transmission light looks like a jagged circle (gear cog) with an exclamation mark on the inside. Depending on the year and model of the vehicle, the symbol could be different and can be identified in your car's manual. Some vehicles have a symbol that looks like a spanner, or an engine.

7. Leaking Red Fluid

When transmission fluid is older, the color could be somewhere between red, a rusty-red, brown, and black. Check on the ground underneath where your vehicle is parked and if you see a puddle of fluid, you might want to get it looked at.
