What are the indications of contaminated transmission fluid?

by Transmission Service Connection • 21 November 2024
Transmission fluid is essential for keeping your vehicle's transmission running smoothly, as it lubricates moving parts, keeps the transmission cool, and enables proper hydraulic pressure. However, if your transmission fluid becomes contaminated, it can lead to significant problems. At Transmission Service Connection, we can expertly handle issues related to transmission fluid. Here are five signs that your transmission fluid may be contaminated. Discolored Transmission Fluid Fresh transmission fluid is usually bright red, which indicates it’s in good condition. If your fluid has turned dark brown or even black, it’s a sign of contamination. Discolored fluid will be less effective at lubricating the transmission, which can lead to wear and tear on internal components. Strange Odors If your transmission fluid smells burnt, it’s likely contaminated. A burning smell could mean the transmission is overheating or that the fluid has been exposed to extreme heat for an extended period. This can lead to degraded fluid that no longer performs its job effectively. Burnt transmission fluid can also be an early warning sign of friction between parts due to a lack of lubrication. Transmission Slipping or Hesitating Contaminated fluid can interfere with the transmission’s ability to shift gears smoothly. If your transmission begins slipping, hesitating, or shifting at the wrong times, it may be struggling due to dirty or contaminated fluid. Contaminants in the fluid can affect hydraulic pressure, causing the transmission to act erratically. Unusual Noises Grinding, whining, or clunking noises coming from the transmission can signal that something isn’t right. When transmission fluid is contaminated, it may lose its ability to lubricate internal parts effectively. As a result, metal components inside the transmission can harshly rub against each other, causing these sounds. Addressing contaminated fluid early on can prevent costly repairs due to metal-on-metal contact. Visible Debris in the Fluid If you check your transmission fluid and notice small particles, dirt, or metal shavings, it’s a clear sign of contamination. These contaminants can circulate through the transmission system, increasing wear on internal parts. Regularly checking your transmission fluid for debris can help catch issues early and prevent further complications.

4 Symptoms of Automatic Transmission Trouble that You Shouldn’t Ignore

by Transmission Service Connection • 31 October 2024
Healthy automatic transmissions provide easy operation and smooth shifting. But when automatic transmission problems arise, they can worsen quickly, making it important to visit the shop at the first sign of trouble. At Transmission Service Connection, we provide expert automatic transmission repair in the greater Baton Rouge area. Here’s a look at four warning signs of an automatic transmission problem. Slipping Gears If you notice that your car unexpectedly changes gears while driving or struggles to stay in gear, it could be a sign of transmission slippage. Slipping gears often feel like the car is struggling to accelerate, or you might experience a sudden loss of power. This problem can be caused by low transmission fluid or internal component damage. Ignoring this issue can lead to unsafe driving conditions and further damage to the transmission. Delayed or Rough Shifting When shifting gears becomes delayed or jerky, it's a clear indication of transmission trouble. A healthy automatic transmission should smoothly transition between gears. If you feel a clunking or grinding sensation during shifts, or if there's a noticeable delay when shifting from park to drive, this could signal transmission wear, fluid issues, or even failing transmission components. Transmission Fluid Leaks Transmission fluid is essential for lubricating the moving parts of the transmission and keeping it cool. If you notice reddish fluid puddles under your car, it could indicate a transmission fluid leak. Leaking fluid is a serious problem because, without enough fluid, the transmission can overheat or fail altogether. If you detect fluid leaks, it’s important to have them inspected and fixed as soon as possible to prevent further damage. Burning Smell A burning smell coming from your car, especially if accompanied by transmission performance issues, can be a warning sign of overheating transmission fluid. When transmission fluid breaks down due to excessive heat, it loses its ability to lubricate and protect the transmission’s internal components. This can cause serious damage to the transmission if not addressed quickly. Automatic Transmission Repair in Baton Rouge, LA For transmission repair in Baton Rouge, LA and the surrounding area, contact Transmission Service Connection at  225-217-5505  .

What are the warning signs of a transmission fluid leak?

by Transmission Service Connection • 25 September 2024
Transmission fluid plays a crucial role in keeping your vehicle's transmission running smoothly by providing lubrication and cooling. If your vehicle develops a transmission fluid leak, it can lead to significant transmission damage, resulting in costly repairs. Being able to identify the signs of a transmission fluid leak early can save you from bigger problems. At Transmission Service Connection, we provide expert transmission fluid leak repair in the greater Baton Rouge area. Here’s a look at four signs of a transmission fluid leak. Puddles of Fluid Under Your Car One of the most obvious signs of a transmission fluid leak is the presence of puddles of fluid underneath your vehicle. Transmission fluid is usually reddish and has a slightly sweet smell. If you notice this fluid on the ground where you park, it’s an indication that you could have such a leak. Transmission Slipping Slipping can feel like your car is struggling to shift or may shift out of gear unexpectedly. Transmission slipping often occurs because there’s not enough fluid to create the necessary hydraulic pressure to keep the transmission functioning correctly. Unusual Sounds When your transmission is low on fluid due to a leak, you may hear strange noises such as grinding, clunking, or whining while driving. These sounds often result from inadequate lubrication in the transmission’s moving parts. Burning Smell Transmission fluid helps to keep your transmission cool, and when there isn’t enough fluid, the transmission can overheat. This can lead to burned or degraded transmission fluid, which emits a distinct burning odor. Ignoring this issue could cause serious transmission damage, so it’s vital to address the leak as soon as you detect this smell.

No matter if you need a transmission fluid exchange or a full transmission replacement, our team will work diligently to complete the job to the highest standards. And we appreciate it when our customers provide feedback about the work that we did for them. Here’s a look at some of our latest customer reviews. “A transmission rebuild is a major repair. For this reason, it is very important to pick a good shop with experienced, competent and trustworthy mechanics. Back in January I had the transmission rebuilt in a 2009 Buick Lucerne for my daughters to drive. They have now driven it for six months without any problems in the transmission. A few weeks ago I dropped off a 2014 Chevy Express 15 passenger van with over 200,000 miles on it. We picked it up earlier this week and it is driving very well and shifting smoothly like it used to. Both of these jobs were done in a timely fashion. I highly recommend this shop and its mechanics as reliable and trustworthy.” — Les L. “Rebuilt a 68RFE for me. Fair pricing and great service. Got my truck back together in a reasonable time. Thankful for a good job.” — Steven H. “Service was great! These guys replaced 2 transmissions for me. One was under warranty and they work with the warranty company to make the process smooth. I will recommend them for their honesty and timely work to get my vehicles back on the road.” — Tim P. “These guys are the real deal. I've had cause to use their services twice now, two different vehicles (Navigator and 4WD Armada). Both times, all signs pointed to needing a new transmission. The first time it was a simple fix, and the second, I was relieved to learn, only operator error. ANY other transmission shop could have and would have taken my money. These guys didn't. 10/10 recommend.” — Cindy T. “Great customer service! Worked with my schedule to get my vehicle checked out. Trusted my vehicle with them throughout the whole process!” — Loutori W.

Where is my transmission fluid leaking from? Here are 4 common sources

by Transmission Service Connection • 1 August 2024
Transmission fluid is essential for the smooth operation of your vehicle's transmission system. A leak can lead to serious problems if not addressed promptly. At Transmission Service Connection, we provide expert transmission fluid leak detection and repair in the greater Baton Rouge area. Here’s a look at four common sources of transmission fluid leaks. Transmission Pan Gasket The transmission pan gasket is one of the most common sources of leaks. As the miles add up, the gasket can wear out, become brittle, or get damaged due to constant exposure to heat and fluid. When this happens, fluid can seep out, leading to a leak. Regular inspection and timely replacement of the gasket can prevent this issue. Torque Converter The torque converter helps ensure proper power transfer from the engine to the transmission. If the torque converter seals fail, transmission fluid can leak from the area where it connects to the transmission. Detecting a leak from the torque converter can be challenging, but a significant drop in fluid levels often indicates a problem. Regular fluid level checks can help spot this issue before it becomes severe. Transmission Seals Transmission seals are designed to keep the fluid contained within the transmission. As they age, these seals can wear out and become damaged, especially if the transmission overheats regularly. Common seals that may leak include the input shaft seal and output shaft seal. Transmission Pan The transmission pan itself can become a source of leaks, especially if it gets damaged by road debris or if the bolts that hold it in place become loose. A warped or damaged pan can lead to fluid seeping out. Ensuring that the pan is in good condition and that the bolts are tightened to the correct specifications can help prevent leaks from this area.
