The job of your Honda transmission is to move power from the engine to the wheels. If your Accord, Civic, or Passport’s transmission is on the fritz, get a transmission repair at your Honda dealer ASAP to avoid forking out heaps of cash for expensive repairs and replacements.
Does Your Honda Need a Transmission Repair From Your Honda Dealer?
The Transmission Fluid Is Dirty and Contaminated
Transmission fluid is a transparent bright red color and has a syrupy consistency. If it looks cloudy or turns a brownish color, it’s contaminated. Old and contaminated transmission fluid won’t cool down the moving parts, causing your transmission to overheat.
There Is a Transmission Fluid Leak
Your car is leaking transmission fluid if there are reddish puddles on the ground under your vehicle. Get the leaks repaired by a qualified Honda technician as soon as possible to prevent damage to other parts.
You Struggle To Shift Gears
If you drive a manual and it’s hard to shift gears, your transmission is on the blink. It could be dirty or low transmission fluid causing the problem. Ask your technician to check under your car for leaks and replace the fluid.
The Gears Pop In and Out
When your car doesn’t stay in gear, there could be an issue with the shifter cable, valve body, the shifter itself, or low transmission fluid. Ask your Honda technician to take a look and sort out the problem.
The Gears Are Slipping
The gears of a car with an automatic transmission will slip if there’s not enough transmission fluid to provide proper lubrication. The lack of fluid could be due to a leak.
Your Engine Revs High
Transmission fluid that is dirty and contaminated, a worn clutch, or other faulty transmission parts could cause your car’s engine to rev high. A high-revving engine wastes gas and increases engine wear.
Your Car Feels Slow and Lazy
If your car’s engine is revving fine but feels slow and lazy when you step on the gas pedal, you have a transmission problem. The computer will limit power to protect the engine when there’s a problem with the transmission.
You Hear Awful Noises
You’ll hear whining or buzzing sounds when there’s a problem with your car’s automatic transmission. Malfunctioning manual transmissions make harsher clunking and grinding noises. You’ll also hear horrible grinding noises when you shift gears. Get repairs fast before the problem causes severe damage.
You smell Burning
When insufficient transmission fluid or the fluid is contaminated, it won’t provide adequate lubrication and cooling, causing friction. When the transmission gets too hot, you will smell a burning odor.
If you’re struggling with any of these issues, don’t wait until it gets worse and costs a heap of money to fix. Call Penske Honda Ontario today for repairs, and qualified and experienced Honda technicians will quickly sort out your transmission problems.
