Do I Need Transmission Service?
Most drivers know to take their car in for regular oil changes, tire rotations, and brake inspections. But you may wonder if your vehicle requires more extensive service, such as transmission work. So what are some signs that your Mazda car may need its transmission checked?
- A common sign of transmission issues is if your gears start slipping or refusing to switch. The transmission must be inspected if your acceleration doesn’t feel responsive or gears aren’t shifting correctly.
- If your transmission fluid appears to be leaking, this is a sign of an issue that needs to be addressed.
- An unusual odor, such as a burning smell, may originate from transmission problems.
- It may be a transmission issue if your car makes noises or doesn’t sit smoothly when idling or in neutral.
- Dark transmission fluid is another indicator of necessary service.
What Happens During Transmission Service?
- Transmission fluid change: This service will replace some old, dirty transmission fluid with fresh fluid.
- Transmission fluid flush: This is a slightly more in-depth service where the old fluid will be entirely removed and replaced.
- Transmission rebuild: This major service, where the transmission will be taken apart and rebuilt with new parts to function correctly, is sometimes necessary for more significant issues like a component failure.
If your Mazda car displays any of the warning signs above, or if your vehicle is due for transmission service, schedule a Mazda service visit today. While you’re here, don’t forget to ask about our Mazda service offers.
