My car has had problems shifting recently. We found out that it was the transmission that was the problem. It was driving me crazy because it was so hard to switch gears. Luckily we just got it fixed so I don’t have to deal with the problem any longer.

Paying attention to how the vehicle shifts between gears is a great idea. Like you mentioned, there shouldn’t be any jerky movements so if there is then it’s helpful to know. Paying attention to what the movement is like would be helpful when taking the vehicle in so it’s easy to tell the mechanic what’s wrong.

Thanks for the helpful post on the signs of transmission problems you can’t ignore. I have noticed that my transmission seems to be having a hard time shifting into gears sometimes. It feels like something might be wrong. it sounds like it might be a cable or linkage issue, which would be really good news. I will be sure to have a professional check out my transmission. Thanks for the help!

I’ve been trying to figure out what’s wrong with my car. I’ve noticed something dripping under it. I didn’t realize that it could be a transmission leak! I’ll be sure to get that fixed as soon as possible! Thanks for sharing.

My older car definitely has the rough shifting you describe. However, it normally only happens when it shifts from fourth to fifth gear. It really just feels like my car has to try really hard to shift between these gears. How can I fix this problem?

In reply to David Hawkins. I am glad I came across this. I have been noticing a smell coming from my engine when I drive. I can't quite put a description to it, but it may be a transmission issue. I will have to take it in to be looked at.

Thanks for the helpful post on transmission repairs. I am never quite sure if I am just paranoid or if my transmission is going bad. It is good to know that low transmission fluid can be detected by the odor. I will have to see if I can smell anything next time I am driving. It is also good to know that weird noises are a really bad sign. I have been hearing some weird noises while shifting, so I should probably take my car in as soon as possible. Thanks for the help!

I have started hearing unusual sounds coming from my transmission. Normally I would just ignore it for a while, but my brother told me I had to get it checked. It’s a good thing though, because I had to get my transmission replaced. Thanks for this list!

Thanks for sharing your wisdom, it’s nice to know the difference between when you might be able to let your transmission sit for a while and when it needs to be repaired as soon as possible. I didn’t actually know that a damaged transmission could make noises to signal you that it needs repair, although, I’ve only had automatic transmission my whole life so that might be the difference. I do have a question about transmission fluid though, is there a way to check it from within the car like a light or a signal or something or is it something you have to pop the hood in order to check out?

It sounds like that burnt smell is something you should really look out for. I know that my car has been having that smell lately so I might want to take it to a transmission shop to see if there are any issues. I don’t want to be driving around on a broken transmission and then possible causing even more damage. Thanks for the awesome tips and info!

The transmission in my car isn’t running very smoothly. It’s almost like the gears are grinding against each other. Sounds like that’s a big issue that should be taken care of by a professional. First, however, I want to hear what you think the problem is.
