Transmission Seems To Be Slipping

If the transmission slips between gear changes, this is likely a transmission problem—a transmission is designed to hold effortlessly in each gear at predetermined speeds. If you move the selector for your automatic transmission to “Drive” and the engine seems to be racing ahead faster than the transmission, that is another common symptom of a transmission problem. Trained transmission technicians at AAMCO centers can help determine which of the following possibilities could be causing the problem:

• An internal transmission repair may be necessary if parts within the transmission are worn or damaged
• External controls for the transmission may simply need replacement or adjustment
• Electrical controls or components may need adjustment or replacement
• The transmission fluid level may be low, or there is insufficient fluid pressure

Because today’s cars, trucks, and SUVs are controlled by computers, it takes a real transmission expert to properly diagnose this problem. The right diagnosis can save you time and potentially a substantial amount of money. These problems require immediate attention—the longer they continue, the more damage may be caused. Take your car, truck, or SUV to the experts at AAMCO for an External Diagnostic Service. Our certified technicians will help get your vehicle back on the road as soon as possible.
