Slipping Or Grinding
As you gain speed in your vehicle, your car’s transmission is working its hardest. As the gears change to accommodate your rising speed, this is the time when transmission problems are most evident. If you feel grinding in the gears as they change, or worse, you feel the gears slipping as they try to change, this is a dead giveaway that your transmission is in trouble.
Red Or Brown Fluid
If you notice red or brown fluid pooling underneath your vehicle, say, in your garage, your transmission needs attention. This is transmission fluid and it is never meant to leak. So if you see it, you know there is a problem.
