1. Slipping Gears
If your car unexpectedly changes gears or struggles to stay in gear, your transmission may be slipping — a sign of worn components or low fluid.

2. Delayed or Rough Shifting
Hesitation, jerking, or hard shifts when changing gears often point to internal issues that require inspection.

3. Transmission Fluid Leaks
Red or dark fluid spots under your vehicle could be leaking transmission fluid — which should be addressed immediately.

4. Burning Smell
Overheated transmission fluid can smell burnt, indicating the need for a flush or repair.

5. Unusual Noises
Grinding, whining, or buzzing noises while driving or idling can be related to transmission wear or low fluid levels.
