Transmission services need to be completed by an experienced professional to ensure a safe driving experience.

There are some common warning signs that your car is in need of a transmission service, often these come in the form of clutch problems. Here are some ways to tell if you have a transmission issue:

• You’ve noticed that your clutch slips often and isn’t able to transfer acceleration to your car wheels.
• Your clutch is sticky and does not release easily
• Leaky fluid, jarring gear transitions and a humming sound can all be tell-tale signs of automatic transmission problems
• If your ‘Check Engine’ light is on, it may signify a transmission issue

There are a few key differences between an automatic and manual car transmission system. This is because clutch pedals are only present in manual cars and automatic cars have a gear selector built in.

Automatic cars have automatic transmission systems. In these systems, once a car is in drive all other functions are automatic. In a manual car, manual transmission locks and unlocks depending on the chosen gear.
