The Seven Common Transmission Diagnostic Problems

By Amy Thomas


One most difficult task of man when having a car, most especially the drivers who do not have trained ears and eyes is the determining of a car problem. The inner workings inside the car may be compared to an inner working inside a human body. One example to this is if you have chest pain. Surely, you will think that you have some illness, but if your pain takes a longer time on existing and you are already experiencing difficulties on breathing, surely, you will think that you have asthma.

So this means that having to diagnose an automobile is very much the same as the human body. Mechanical system problems may occur and you can sense some malfunctioning of the processes. And when malfunctioning is already noticed, in this case, you will need to assess all these issues and try on looking for ways to fix it. The process of doing a diagnosis of mechanical systems is called as the transmission diagnostic Rockford IL.

The mechanical systems are responsible for controlling the application of power properly from engines to drive shafts. This system is the most known part of where the problems usually occur as compared to some other parts and the heat and the friction produced by the movements and also the interaction of components are the reasons to this. Mostly, the major transmissions are subjected to arise if these are not maintained well.

Having a transmission repair can be quite expensive. Following and performing the procedures for its maintenance can help you in preventing the common problems to occur. So if you have an automobile, it would be very important that you must know the common transmission problems so it would be easy for you to diagnose and fix it.

There are seven most common troubles for the transmission. One, lack of any response. There may be times where in difficulties on gear shifting will occur or there may be delays on shifting either on parking or on driving. The clutch is said to be the cause of this, thus, it must be replaced.

Second is hearing some, humming, whining, and clunking. Surely, it is very impossible for the driver on determining the real sound of a car especially when there are problems in its transmission. And surely, you will be hearing the unusual sounds that is never heard since before. Third leaking and low fluids. Leaks are mostly considered as one of the common symptoms. These leaks should be repaired as soon as possible.

Fourth is grinding and shaking. All cars are expected to run just smoothly without any shaking, grinding, and jerking. Usually, the problem to this are its gears. Fifth is the burning smell. Usually, the cause of the smell are fluids that are overheating.

Six, engine light should be checked. The engine lights are placed in a dashboard and these are said to be the indicators whenever problems occur. The engines contain sensors to alert the computer for unusual activities happening in certain processes.

And lastly is noise in a neutral mode. When you hear some noise even in its neutral mode, the best solution is to add or change the fluid. If it does not work, there may be parts that need replacement such as the reverse idler gear, bearings, or gear teeth.
