Signs Your Transmission Needs Service or Repairs

Refusal to Switch Gears

Neutral Noises
Weird noises coming from your vehicle when your car is in neutral is a sure sign of transmission trouble. At best, the noises might indicate that your car is ready for new transmission oil, or it could also mean that your car requires a part replacement due to mechanical wear.
Slipping Gears
Not only is it scary and alarming if your gears impulsively slip in and out of place while your driving, this scenario is also highly dangerous while you are on the road. If your gears slip, make sure to let your auto repair mechanic take a look.
