Transmission Repair and Service Near Me in Linwood | Garber Chevrolet Linwood

Whether you prefer the ease of an automatic or the sporty throws of a manual, your vehicle isn’t going anywhere without a working transmission. After all, the transmission is what allows you to put your vehicle in park, drive, reverse, and neutral. It also ensures you enjoy a comfortable ride by providing different gears for different speeds.

So when someone says their transmission is “slipping,” what does that mean? In simple terms, a transmission slip is when the vehicle slips out of gear without input from the driver. It may fall into a gear that doesn’t correspond with the current speed or it might even slip into neutral. Any amount of gear slipping is dangerous though, and the longer it goes unchecked, the more chance it will do long-term damage to the overall transmission system.

A transmission slip isn’t the only sign that your vehicle’s transmission needs to be serviced. If you spot red or pink fluid under your vehicle, that’s an indicator that your transmission fluid is leaking. Transmission fluid provides lubrication to all the moving parts, creating hydraulic pressure and friction to ensure the internal parts are moving correctly. If your vehicle is losing that fluid, the gears can grind together and cause damage that will be very expensive to fix.
