BASIC DIAGNOSES TO DETERMINE 
IF YOU HAVE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM

Some basic transmission problems that should be checked by a transmission specialist (referred shops)

•  Engine runs but vehicle does not move

•  Slips: vehicle moves but engine RPM’S raise in different gears

•  Leaking fluids

•   Delayed engagement into forward or reverse

•  Vehicle will only move forward in manual positions (3,2 or L) not in drive

•  No reverse or no forward

•  Transmission does not shift (will stay in one gear)

•  Service transmission or overdrive light flashing

•  Erratic shifting up or down

 None of the above complaints necessarily mean that you need a new or rebuilt transmission. Many times there are minor problems that can be corrected without transmission replacement.
