If your Chrysler car is acting up, it’s important to diagnose the problem quickly. Often when one part or system starts having trouble, this can affect other areas. Here you’ll learn about the signs something is wrong with your transmission and why prompt Chrysler service is necessary:
The Role of the Transmission
Your transmission is a vital component of your vehicle, as it sends the power created by the engine to your wheels. Clearly, if it’s not working well, this can negatively affect how your car operates.
Transmission Warning Signs: Trouble Shifting Gears
If you have difficulty shifting from one gear to another, there is a clear issue with the transmission. If the vehicle slips out of gear when driving or shakes when shifting, these are other red flags.
Sounds or Smells
Does your car make a weird sound when you shift gears? Almost certainly something within the transmission is faulty. And if there is a burning smell, this could be a sign that the transmission is overheating.
Leaking
If you notice a fluid with a reddish color on the spot where you usually park, the fluid is probably leaking from the transmission.
