Diagnosing Problems

Please NOTE: this guide is intended as a quick reference to diagnose "symptoms" of a bad transmission.  It is not intended to act as a final evaluation of possible problems you may have.  It is important that you have a qualified ASE-Certified Technician inspect your transmission for an accurate diagnosis of your transmission.  Please also make sure your vehicle is in safe condition to make the drive to our Service Shop.  If you fear your vehicle's transmission is not safe to make the drive in, please call us at (626) 966-8515 so we may make arrangements to have your vehicle towed to us.

SYMPTOMS OF A BAD TRANSMISSION
  • Problems occurring when a transmission is trying to make a gear change.
  • A noise associated with the problem or just general noises from the transmission.
  • Problems occurring when you first put the transmission in gear.
  • Problems occurring when the vehicle is hot or cold.
  • Problems occurring when accelerating, or stopping.

DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM YOURSELF
  • First check if you have sufficient transmission fluid.  Although different vehicles have different ways to access the transmission fluid level, the general rule is you measure the fluid with the transmission in park.  If you see you do not have sufficient fluid, fill the transmission to the proper level (as instructed in your manual).  Test drive the vehicle, if you no longer feel the problem, wait a day and recheck the fluid and underneath the vehicle.  If it is low, the most likely problem is a fluid-leak. A leak, no matter how small, must ALWAYS be checked by a qualified technician.
  • If you find that your transmission is not leaking, but a problem persists, take your vehicle to a qualified technician.  The problem may be so minor that you may not even be charged.  However, a qualified technician may be able to diagnose a major problem before it occurs and recommend minor service.
