A failing transmission control module can cause inconsistent or erratic gear shifting because it’s responsible for controlling the transmission’s electronic functions.
A faulty shift solenoid can cause the transmission to be stuck in one gear because it controls the flow of transmission fluid needed for gear changes.
A worn clutch in a manual transmission can cause a grinding noise when shifting gears due to the inability to properly engage and disengage the gears.
Low transmission fluid can cause a delay when shifting from park to drive due to inadequate hydraulic pressure.
Low transmission fluid can cause the transmission to slip because there isn’t enough fluid to provide the necessary hydraulic pressure.
Worn or broken transmission mounts can cause a clunking noise when the car is put into gear because the transmission is not securely held in place.
Low transmission fluid or other transmission issues can trigger the transmission warning light to alert the driver of potential problems.
A broken drive shaft can prevent the car from moving in any gear, as it disrupts the transmission of power from the engine to the wheels.
Low transmission fluid can cause delayed or rough shifting because there isn’t enough fluid to properly lubricate and cool the transmission components.
Overheated transmission fluid can produce a burning smell, often due to insufficient cooling or low fluid levels.
Transmission fluid is typically red or pink, so a leak of this color fluid likely indicates a transmission leak.
