Warning Signs of a Bad Transmission

Most modern luxury vehicles have an onboard computer that diagnoses problems from within. If your Volvo notices that something is off, you'll likely receive messages on your instrument cluster or an illuminated check engine light. While the check engine light simply informs you that something is wrong, you won't know exactly what it is until we perform the check engine light diagnostic. However, there are a few signs that can help you determine if a bad transmission is the culprit.

• Slipping Gears: When your vehicle's RPMs are not in alignment with your movement, your gears are slipping. Imagine spinning your tires on a sheet of ice. It's the same sort of thing with slipping gears.
• Delayed Engagement: When moving from Park to Shift or vice-versa is accompanied by a long pause before action takes place, it's a sign that your transmission needs service.
• Burning Smell: When transmission fluid enters a burning stage, you'll smell a distinct odor reminiscent of burned eggs. The pungent aroma will oftentimes infiltrate your cabin.
• Fluid Leaks: Transmission fluid leaks usually appear towards the front of your vehicle. To help identify what fluid it is, notice the color. Transmission fluid will have a red or dark brown hue.
