Signs Your Car Needs Transmission Service
Your car needs a healthy transmission in order to run its best, and our local GMC dealers are the ones to trust. Choose us for GMC transmission service and count on our experienced technicians to be proactive, quick, and thorough.
Slipping
Like oil changes and tire rotations, the transmission in your new Buick SUV or used GMC truck needs routine professional maintenance to perform its best. If your car’s transmission starts slipping in and out of gear, especially on inclines and declines, your vehicle’s transmission needs maintenance.
Leaking Fluid
If you notice dark spots of a bright red, dark red, or brownish color on your driveway or garage floor, it’s likely due to a malfunction in your transmission. You’ll want to schedule a service appointment with Serra Buick GMC Champaign as soon as possible, since delaying repairs could end up being very expensive.
Inconsistent Shifting
Rough or delayed shifting is indicative of a transmission that requires service. This is true whether your drive a car with a manual or automatic transmission, or a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
Poor Acceleration
Another telltale sign of transmission issues is if your car is unusually unresponsive when accelerating – for example, when the stoplight turns green, or you want to accelerate onto the highway.
Why is the Transmission Important?
The transmission in every automobile at our GMC dealership distributes power from the engine to the wheels, creating forward motion. It also helps regulate speed and optimize fuel consumption.
For example, when you’re driving slowly you can stay in a lower gear and avoid damaging your engine. And when you want to speed up, the gears increase in turn, rotating the wheels more quickly and always delivering as much power as you need based on your rate of speed.
