You’ve started the engine of your car, revved it up but the power doesn’t reach the wheels – do you know what this indicates? It simply means that you’ve probability missed all the vital signs of automatic transmission problems in your vehicle. And now it’s heading towards the last step before a complete breakdown - Transmission Slipping.

The best thing you can do for your car is to keep an eye on the transmission system and make a note of any abnormalities. This can not only save the transmission system of your car from being severely damaged but also save your money from being spent on transmission replacements. As you probably know that automatic transmission repair is easier on the pockets than replacements.

At this point of time, you can simply keep the following tips in mind before starting on a beautiful journey with your vehicle:

1. First of all, the transmission fluid of your vehicle is not something that gets used up. So, the dropping level of this fluid will be an indication of the fact that your car needs to be sent for repairing very soon.
2. You the may also want to get an idea about the transmission fluid that your car needs. If it’s not something unique produced by manufacturer, then usually there are two varieties found in cars running on automatic transmission – Dexron6, Mecron and ATF+4.
3. It’s probably better if you let a car mechanic fill up the transmission fluid, if you aren’t too sure of your hands, as, even a drop of this fluid touching the exhaust manifold, can result to a severe engine fire. And this isn’t something you’d want for your beautiful car, right?

After this, all you need to do is recognize the signs of danger that your car may have been showing for a long time before it goes in for a state of automatic Transmission Slipping:

• Transmission fluid leakage
• Shaking, grinding noise or rattling
• Delayed drive or reverse
• A neutral condition on brisk acceleration from a stop or when going around a turn
• A Burning smell due to overheated transmission fluid
• Check engine light signal
• Difficulty on changing gears or wrong gear starts

Now that you know about the probable signals of automatic Transmission Slipping out of control, taking your car to a good, reliable mechanic for getting repaired is the best gift you can give to your beautiful car!
