It can be difficult to tell when your vehicle is having transmission problems if you don't know much about how different systems in your car work. Here's a hint: if there's something wrong with your gears, then you need transmission service. There are other signs that may show up when you need to head to your Buick dealership for this kind of service, too, so it's a good idea to learn them. 6 Signs Your Buick Needs a Transmission Service From Your Buick Dealership 1. There's a Burning Smell A burning smell in your vehicle always indicates trouble. This odor can be caused by different parts of the vehicle overheating, including the transmission. In some cases, your transmission may not be overheating, but the fluid could be burning up because it's old and needs to be drained and replaced with fresh fluid. 2. There Are Noises While You're in Neutral Cars don't tend to make much noise while in neutral. However, noises can start happening while the car is in neutral when there's a problem with your transmission. There are a range of problems you could be having when there are noises happening while you're in neutral, ranging from the car needing new transmission fluid to much bigger issues. more 3. There Are Problems Changing Gears If your transmission system has fallen into disrepair, then you may struggle to change gears or be unable to change gears at all. Sometimes your car will just take a little longer than usual to switch gears after you've tried to shift from one gear to another. However, sometimes your car won't respond to gear changes at all. 4. There Are Unusual Noises Happening While Driving Cars don't just get noisy while they're in neutral when there are problems with the transmission. If your transmission needs service, then you may hear clanking, humming, or whining sounds at any point while your car is on. 5. There Are Problems with Shift Timing Is your engine revving too much when shifting up a gear or having problems decelerating at the right time? These problems mean your vehicle is slipping out of gear. This issue can be jarring and dangerous, so you should get off the road as soon as possible and get your car to the dealer. 6. There Are Pools of Fluid Under Your Vehicle Inspect the ground around your vehicle before driving. If you spot any puddles under the car, then there's a chance fluid has leaked out of your car. Puddles of transmission fluids are typically red, but they can also be brown or black if the transmission fluid is old and needs to be changed soon. If your gears are acting strange or your car is noisy in neutral, then visit Royal Moore Buick GMC in Hillsboro, OR for service today. Schedule service online whenever you need to.
