COMMON SIGNS OF DRIVETRAIN PROBLEMS
COMMON SIGNS OF DRIVETRAIN PROBLEMS Your car won’t engage while in gear
If your vehicle has a delayed response when being put in drive or reverse, or if it doesn’t engage at all when in drive or reverse, you could be experiencing transmission issues. This can indicate a problem with the gear selector linkage, a mechanical issue with the transmission if it won’t go into gear, or possibly the transmission fluid.
You feel vibrations or shaking while in gear
Many things can cause vibration in your vehicle, but vibrations along with other drivetrain problem symptoms could mean a bad or failing differential, a failing C/V Axle, or worn-out U-joints.
It feels like the gears are slipping
If your vehicle is slipping in and out of gear while you’re driving, it could be an indication that your transmission is slipping and there’s a greater malfunction in your drivetrain system.
You hear irregular sounds like humming, clunking, clicking, or whining
Strange noises could indicate a bad CV-joint, driveshaft damage, or a failing transmission. If you notice clicking noises while turning, it could be that your CV-joints need replacement or repair. Bring your vehicle to your local Rb Tire & brake to confirm. Driveshaft damage will typically make a loud clunking noise while shifting.
There's leaking or low transmission fluid
If you’re seeing red fluids on the pavement after you park (color may vary by manufacturer), it could be an indication that there’s a leak in your transmission that needs repair. If your transmission runs without adequate fluid, it can overheat and fail.
You smell burning
If you pull the transmission dipstick and the fluid smells burnt or there’s a burning smell coming from the clutch on a manual transmission, your transmission or clutch may be overheating. It could be that your transmission fluid is low or that the fluid’s lubricating abilities have diminished with age. Without immediate maintenance, this problem could lead to a transmission breakdown.
The ABS, traction control, brake, or check engine light is on
Your drivetrain is loaded with sensors that can signal a problem to your indicator lights —sometimes well before you notice an issue in your driving experience. If your indicator lights are turning on, it’s always a good idea to have your vehicle checked out at your nearest Rb Tire & brake
