A worn or damaged transmission makes driving difficult and unsafe, if not impossible. The transmission is very complex and contains hundreds of different components. The failure of just one component can easily affect the entire transmission. If you have a transmission problem, your Honda dealer can fix it. These are some of the signs that you need to visit us ASAP for a transmission repair.
Check Engine Light Is On
The engine and the transmission work together to move your Honda. The engine supplies the raw power, and the transmission focuses the power so your car’s wheels can move. Your car has dozens of sensors, and each sensor connects to an important component. These sensors supply your car’s computer with the component’s state of health and its activity.
The transmission doesn’t have a warning light. This is because a problem with the transmission automatically affects the engine and vice versa. If one or more components in the transmission are failing, sensors will inform our computer, and the engine light will activate. Our technicians will connect your car’s computer to our diagnostic system to pinpoint the transmission problem so we can repair it.
Delayed Shifting
Your Honda transmission is designed to effortlessly shift gears in response to the transmission computer’s instructions. The shift is smooth and almost unnoticeable. One of the signs of a damaged transmission is hesitation in changing gears. This problem isn’t immediately noticeable, but as time passes, it will become very obvious and can be accompanied by strange noises.
A low level of transmission fluid can cause a delay in gear shifting. One of the main functions of this fluid is to provide the hydraulic power that enables the gears to shift. If the fluid is low, gear changing will become more and more difficult. A lack of fluid also means there is a leak in the system. Our technicians will investigate and find the cause of the problem. If there’s a leak, we’ll permanently seal it and refill the transmission fluid.
Transmission Can’t Shift
One of the most unnerving transmission problems is if the transmission refuses to shift. An unresponsive transmission means your car won’t be able to move. The engine will continue to supply energy, but the transmission won’t be able to apply it. This problem can also be caused by a transmission leak, as a lack of fluid will prevent the gears from moving.
An unresponsive transmission can also be caused by a fault in the transmission computer, a damaged solenoid, a failed sensor, or physical damage to the transmission itself. Our expert technicians will find and repair the cause of this problem.
Transmission problems only get worse if they’re not fixed. Call us today at Gates Honda.
