Transmission Repair and Service Near Me in Saginaw | Garber Buick

Whether you’re driving a vehicle with an automatic or a manual transition, you need it to be in proper working order to get you from Point A to Point B. That’s because the transmission is what allows you to put your car in park, drive, reverse, and neutral, making it one of the most important components of any motorized vehicle. The transmission also ensures you’re riding comfortably by offering different gears for different speeds.

So what does it mean when someone says a transmission is slipping? As the name suggests, a transmission slip is when a vehicle falls out of gear without input from its driver. It may be slipping into a gear that doesn’t correspond with its current speed or into neutral. Any amount of gear slippage is a hazard though and the longer it goes unchecked, the more damage it can cause to the overall transmission system.

The transmission slipping isn’t the only sign that your vehicle may be in need of repair. If you notice red or pink fluid beneath your vehicle, that’s an indicator your transmission is leaking. This is a problem because the transmission uses that fluid to keep all the moving parts of the system well lubricated, which creates the hydraulic pressure and friction necessary to keep the internal parts working correctly. Without that fluid, the transmission gears will grind together and cause damage that will be very expensive to fix.
