New transmission needed?

Determining whether a vehicle transmission replacement is necessary requires a proper diagnosis of the vehicle's issues and the underlying causes. These are some indications that suggest the possibility of a transmission problem.

1. Difficulty shifting or abrupt shifts.

2. Delay or harsh engagement when put in gear.

3. Slipping or lurching during gear changes.

4. Grinding or whining noises while driving.

5. Check engine light on, accompanied by transmission-related codes.

6. Low transmission fluid or leaks.

7. Burning smell or abnormal vibrations.

8. Reduced fuel efficiency or sudden increase in fuel consumption.

If you are experiencing any of these signs or suspect transmission problems, it is recommended to take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic or transmission specialist for an accurate diagnosis and assessment of the issue's severity. They will be able to determine if the transmission needs repair, replacement, or simple adjustments based on their inspection and diagnostic tests.
