Your car’s transmission is one of its most complex and essential components, responsible for delivering power from the engine to the wheels. Regular transmission servicing ensures smooth gear changes, extends the lifespan of your transmission, and prevents costly repairs. At Elden’s Autobahn, we specialise in keeping your transmission in peak condition.
Why Transmission Servicing Is Essential
A healthy transmission improves performance, fuel efficiency, and driving comfort. Neglecting maintenance can lead to symptoms like rough shifting, slipping gears, or complete transmission failure, which are expensive to fix.
Signs Your Transmission Needs Servicing
1. Delayed or Rough Gear Shifts
What It Means
If your car hesitates or jolts when changing gears, it could indicate low transmission fluid or worn components.
What to Do
Schedule a transmission inspection at Elden’s Autobahn to identify and resolve the issue.
2. Leaking Transmission Fluid
What It Means
Bright red or dark brown fluid under your car is a sign of a transmission leak, which can lead to overheating or damage.
What to Do
Have the leak repaired promptly and the fluid replaced to maintain proper lubrication.
3. Burning Smell
What It Means
A burnt smell can indicate overheated transmission fluid, which loses its ability to protect and lubricate the transmission.
What to Do
Replace the fluid immediately to prevent damage to internal components.
4. Unusual Noises
What It Means
Whining, buzzing, or grinding sounds while driving may point to transmission issues such as worn gears or bearings.
What to Do
Let the experts at Elden’s Autobahn perform a thorough diagnostic to determine the root cause.
