The automatic transmission is the most complicated mechanical component in today's vehicle. The automatic transmission contains mechanical systems, hydraulic systems, electrical systems, and computer controls that work together to power the engine to drive the wheels. With so many parts working together, this can lead to your transmission needing special attention.
Transmission maintenance leads to a longer vehicle life. Typically trouble with the transmission starts from overheating. Stop-and-go traffic, heavy pulling, struggling in the snow, hot weather, and racing can cause your transmission to overheat. At higher temperatures the transmission fluid burns. Your vehicle loses lubrication and deposits inside the transmission increase. We recommend that you take your vehicle to a service technician as soon as you believe your vehicle is having transmission problems.
Don't Neglect Transmission Fluid Leaks
Without timely attention, fluid leaks can bring you a lot of car trouble, ranging from braking and steering issues to total engine failure. When you're facing fluid leaks, it’s important to bring your vehicle to a professional mechanic as soon as possible. If you find a fluid leak issue in your transmission, we invite you to call on our expert team for a swift resolution.
We understand the highly detrimental impact that fluid leaks can have on your transmission system, so Performance Auto Center provides swift, comprehensive remedies to combat them. We replace worn-out filters and gaskets with high-quality replacements to ensure a leak-free seal and replenish your transmission fluid with premium-grade products.
No matter the cause of your fluid leaks, we’ll determine the source and correct it in a jiffy. Address fluid leaks promptly to prevent further damage by bringing your vehicle to us.
How to Know If Your Transmission Is Failing
It is actually quite common for vehicle owners to overlook a damaged or malfunctioning transmission. This is why we here at Performance Auto Center believe it is important to have your vehicle inspected regularly and know the warning signs of a bad transmission. If you are noticing any of the following issues with your car, we recommend contacting us as soon as possible:
- Slipping gears when shifting

- Leaking transmission fluid
- Grinding sounds or other strange noises

These are a few of the more obvious signs that you are having issues with your transmission. However, you can avoid costly repairs by making sure your transmission is always in top shape with regularly scheduled maintenance. Contact us today to schedule your check-up.
To prevent your transmission from damage:
- Check your parking space for leaks regularly. If you notice fluid deposits under your car, have one of our technicians inspect it right away.
- Check the transmission fluid levels and condition. Change it when necessary.
- Make sure you use the correct transmission fluid as specified in your owner's manual.
