What is your transmission doing?
My engine revs up but the car doesn't go any faster
That is a slipping transmission.
Come in todayMy car jerks or bangs when it shifts gears
Hard shifts usually come from old or low transmission fluid, a sticking shift solenoid, or the computer that controls shifting getting bad information.
This week is fineMy car waits a second before it goes into Drive or Reverse
That pause has a name: delayed engagement.
This week is fineMy car shudders like I'm driving over rumble strips
That shake usually shows up between about 30 and 50 mph with light pressure on the gas, and most of the time it is the torque converter clutch grabbing unevenly because the fluid is worn or the wrong type.
This week is fineI hear a whine, grind, or clunk that changes with speed
A noise that follows your speed usually comes from a part that turns with the wheels: the transmission, a differential, a bearing, or an axle.
Come in todayMy car is stuck in one gear and won't shift
This is usually limp mode.
Come in todayThe engine runs but the car won't move in Drive or Reverse
When the engine runs but the car will not go, the power is not reaching the wheels.
Stop driving itMy clutch slips, grinds, or the pedal feels wrong
In a stick shift, the clutch connects the engine to the transmission, and it wears out like brakes do.
This week is fineMy 4WD won't engage, or the 4WD light is flashing
The transfer case is the box behind the transmission that sends power to the front axle when you pick 4WD.
This week is fineStraight answers about transmissions
Why your transmission is slipping
When the engine revs but the car does not speed up to match, the transmission is slipping, and the cause can be anything from low fluid to worn parts inside. Finding out which one early, before heat and debris do more damage, is what keeps the repair small.

Rebuilt, remanufactured, or used: how to choose
When a transmission has damage inside, you usually choose between rebuilding yours, installing a remanufactured unit, or installing a used one. The right pick depends on the car, your budget, how long you plan to keep it, and what each warranty covers on paper.
ReadCVT shudder, hesitation, and whining
A CVT drives differently from a regular automatic, so a steady engine note and no clear shift points are normal. Shudder from a stop, a delay before the car moves, or a new whine that grows with speed are not, and catching them early keeps the fix smaller.

Transmission fluid in South Florida heat
Heat is what wears out transmission fluid, and South Florida traffic makes plenty of it. If you sit in stop-and-go traffic, tow, or work your car, the severe service schedule in your owner's manual is probably the one to follow.

What happens during a transmission diagnostic
A real transmission diagnosis is more than reading a code: it covers the fluid, the transmission computer, live data, and a road test. Many problems that feel like a failing transmission turn out to be smaller, like a sensor, a wiring issue, a leak, or a software update.

What a transmission trouble code is telling you
A transmission code means the computer noticed something outside of normal, not that the transmission is finished. The code tells you where to start looking, and a scan of the transmission computer, a fluid check and a road test find what actually failed.
